What a wonderful thing it is to have a pet! When you feel stressed or down, they are a great comfort. And in times of crisis, they can help in other ways.
I am more of a cat person than a dog person. Here are some thoughts I had about the usefulness of pets in a crisis.
The Long Siege Swing
Well, hungry honey, let me whisper in your ear:
Everybody wants to eat a cat,
Because a cat’s got meat and fat,
If you know where it’s at.
Notice: everyone’s picking up on that feline meat,
‘Cause even the dogs are obsolete.
A rat with a tail
Makes your jaw muscles fail,
When they chew the plague.
With a ‘roach in a pot,
Though with mustard, and hot:
It will taste quite vague
Cha-cha-ba-dum-bo-day
Who wants to catch a lark, or bony stuff like that;
When everybody wants to eat a cat?
Vocabulary:
a siege – a military operation to surround an enemy or group, and prevent them from accessing food or supplies
feline – of cats or related to cats
obsolete – no longer produced or used; out of date
a ‘roach – a cockroach (a kind of insect)
a lark – a kind of bird
