Civilized

I had a bird once

who fluttered and sang

But then I got a cat

Whose belled collar rang

When she chased the bird

And pierced him with her fang

A pup, I bought from the store

He promptly satisfied hunger pang

Ate the cat in three big chomps

Let the doggie door rattle a bang

As he defecated feline in the yard

A hawk, just then, on wire did hang

He swooped down on poor Fido

Gun loaded, aimed by Mr. Yang

He shot that hawk from the sky

"Mine. Get your own...  Dang!!"
