Scorner and Survivor lie by the fire
Survivor and Scorner like to stay warm
And their Master wanted them near
Survivor’s a cat and Scorner’s a dog
Survivor lies flat but Scorn wanted more
Survivor looked on at rats in their home
but Scorner must rock, and Scorner must roll
“You are my friends if you do whatever
I command you,” the Master said
Survivor won’t race to rats on the floor
but Scorn chose to chase the rats out the door
Survivor detests the rats that we hate
but knew it was best a cat should refrain
The Master, the fire, the door, the cat, the rats, and the dog
Survivor obeyed but Scorn loved to play
Survivor’s betrayed but Scorn won’t remain
As rats act as rats Survivor just looked
When Scorner attacked the dog’s tail was cooked
The Master, the fire, the door, the cat, the liars, and the dog
Survivor’s alone with Scorner now lost
though months had put up with much from the dog
Like jumping and fighting nights and all day
and running and chasing every which way
Though nothing exciting is happening
the earth is lurching on
Survivor’s excited no matter what
the Master’s working on
