The stupid cat [Archives:2006/941/Community]

Muad Ali Dabwan
In my long way I found a Cat!

Chasing greedily the poor Rat!

I stood gazing at that deed;

Neither could write nor could read!

Thinking wisely how I might,

Take the Rat away from the Cat?

Then the Dog came at that night,

Aiming at damaging this and that.

Hope! Where is hope in this case?

When destruction shakes each race!

But before the fight they start;

A twinkling starry ray of green light,

Trembling with fear were their heart;

That a nice tiger joins the fight!

What such animals so can do?

But to bid souls a big adieu!

As a keen hunter, I have won;

Making these animals my gun's fun,

Finishing the Tiger and the Cat;

Dying therefore the Dog and Rat!

Since, all at peace, yes; since then,

From the Bird's nest to the Lion's den.
