My dog would be a perfect cat,
if he could just meow,
he’ll love to do that for me,
once I can teach him how.
He will not want to eat all day
or spend the day in bed
or follow growling always
like he needs to be fed.
I’ll take him to my girlfriend’s house,
he’ll go on small cat feet
and never mind our chatter,
or care if she’s in heat.
He won’t upset the furniture
or leave a greasy ring,
he’ll be so glad he isn’t
still such a doggy thing.
He’ll listen to my every word,
and follow at my whim,
and lick my hand for making
a pussycat of him.
