The Dog & The Kitty Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

The Doggie was white,
and the Kitty was black,
as they crouched at each end of the floor

Their eyes never met,
because the rules were set,
that the dog would chase the cat as before

At night came the darkness,
and the Kitty stood up
and headed right straight to the door

But the Doggie just lay there with his head
on his paws, and thought:
"Tonight—is quite different for sure"
