There once was a big cat named Pippin
Who ruled all the house without trippin'
Until home one day
Came a black pup to stay
And Pippin's control started slippin'!

Now Pippin's an orange polydactyl
Though near 20 pounds, he's quite fragile
With pup Lady's bouncing
His ego took a trouncing
Cause though he's big, she is more agile

Pippin's not declawed at all,
And his paws certainly have the wherewithal
If he'd just swipe at her nose
With those sharp kitty toes
She'd learn his control isn't casual!
