Feline Blues

[Verse] There's a kitten on the old oak chair, eyes half-closed but full of glare, A newcomer in this humble lair, a puppy with that wild, wide-eyed stare, The pup wags its tail and takes a leap, all it wants is friends to keep, But that old cat ain't losing sleep, this ain't no friendship, not a peep. [Verse 2] The puppy barks and spins around, chasing shadows on the ground, But Mister Whiskers makes no sound, he's had enough of this new hound, The kitty's fur stands all upright, there's no peace in the house tonight, The puppy's trying with all his might, but that kitty's ready for a fight. [Chorus] It's a tale of two tails, a house divided, where calm and chaos collided, No harmony, no feline delight, just kitty claws at every sight, That puppy wants a friend so dear, but in those whiskers there's no cheer, In a world of purrs and playful fear, it's feline blues, it's crystal clear. [Verse 3] The cat's above on kitchen shelves, claiming space all to itself, While down below, where dog hearts delve, the pup just wants a piece of twelve, The paws up high make no descent, in the cat's eyes, this dog's torment, Their battles rage without relent, one wants play, the other's spent. [Verse 4] Mornings bring the same old song, with puppy barks both loud and long, But feline patience ain't that strong, in this house of rights and wrongs, She'll hiss and spit, and swat away, not in the mood for games today, This cat’s got pride, come what may, that puppy's got to learn the way. [Chorus] It's a tale of two tails, a house divided, where calm and chaos collided, No harmony, no feline delight, just kitty claws at every sight, That puppy wants a friend so dear, but in those whiskers there's no cheer, In a world of purrs and playful fear, it's feline blues, it's crystal clear.
