i was thinkin what it'd be like to have a cat

i was thinkin what it'd be like to have a cat
or maybe perhaps a dog
it'd live in my apartment with me over here
it might be a bit of a job
i think id like the company
but would i mind the hair?
i think this place is dirty enough
dont need any more dirt there
but a dog is a fun thing to have
its not a thing really but a creature
it'd bring some life to this still place
it'd be quite a cool new feature
i think i'd prefer a big dog to a cat
cause cats are quite territorial
and dogs are always very friendly
and i dont think they need a tutorial
i grew up around dogs when i was india
when we went on that month long trip
and the owners seemed to love their loving pets
love could make the heart skip!
if you hadn't noticed im trying to rhyme
it's a nice little game to play
when you're trying to think out all your thoughts
you wanna make sure you rhyme, if i may
and a dog would be a nice thing
something you could take on walks
but the shame about a dog or a cat
is that they never really seem to talk
a big dog is a cool thing
full of heart and life
could go running in fields and play with frisbees
and jogging to Fife
you can scratch its head and pat its belly
and when its good you can give it some food
and it'd smile a big smile with its toothy grin
a very clear indiciation of its mood
you could run and get in shape with a dog by your side
i dunno what i'd call a dog or a cat
i wouldnt want one of those weird names
maybe robbie or bobby or something like that
or perhaps even saint james!
the thing i wouldnt like about a dog or a cat
is that one day they'd wither away
and you'd have to lay their body to rest
that would be a dreadful day
but i suppose these things just come to pass
like the leaves on trees in fall
and though its a depressing time of year
its not that bad all in all
and so maybe id get another dog or a cat
maybe one with a similar name
maybe it'll an abnormal dog or a cat
one that makes worldwide fame!
