Of Cats and Dogs

In a quaint little town where the fences were low,
Lived a kitten so curious, with places to go.
Through a crack in the fence, she crept with delight,
And discovered a puppy, a marvelous sight!

With wagging tails and curious eyes,
They greeted each other with joyful cries.
They romped and they played both sun and rain,
Their friendship bloomed, oh, what a gain!

When the clouds rolled in and the raindrops fell,
They sought shelter in the dog’s cozy shell.
In her little house, snug as could be,
They laughed and they played, so wild and free.

But as days turned to months and months to years,
Their bond grew stronger, allaying fears.
The puppy grew tall, a dog so fine,
While the kitten matured, his fur so divine.

No longer confined by the fence’s plight,
The young dog leaped over, a magnificent sight!
Into the kitten’s world, they explored anew,
In the yard and the garage, their adventures grew.

Yet whispers arose, from others around,
Cats and dogs, they were not to be found.
“You can’t be friends, it’s just not right,”
But they ignored the words, shining bright.

For friendship knows no bounds, no rules to obey,
In the garage, they frolicked, come what may.
Their love endured, through storm and weather,
Proving that friends, they can be, forever.

So let them say what they will, those naysayers’ cries,
For the kitten and dog, they’ve uncovered the prize.
In a world filled with doubt, they’ve shown it true,
Cats and dogs, friends forever, through and through.
