It’s just a beast
No real cognition
It simply is
It has night vision.

No! It’s a cat
I hear it purr!
My brain turns off
When I see fur!

It doesn’t speak
It doesn’t think
And it will make
Your household stink.

No it won’t!
It wants to play!
"Oh pushy tat
Wot didjyoo say?"

It said ‘meow’
Not 'play with me'
It’s not a person
But you don’t see.

You’re just mean
Your heart is stone
Oh look!
It won’t leave me alone.

It may be stupid
But you’re the fool
It’s brain is tiny
It’s playing you.
