Who Wants to Be a Guinea Pig?

In a dog eat dog world
what happens to the cats
besides being away while the mice play?

Fashion police dogs sport metal teeth
and wear t-shirts that say, “Take
a bionic bite out of crime.” The drug
dogs are singing at the airports, a capella, “Ooooh
that smell. Can’t you smell that smell...”

Not to be outdone by the dogs, cats
are dialing 9-1-1 and saving lives too.
They even make undercover busts
of fake vets and later retire
as therapy pets for the elderly.

I don’t believe all cats are girls.
I don’t believe all men are dogs.

Okay. There are cat people and dog
people. They join forces and eat the mice
people.
