There is a long standing battle over dog vs. cat, It’s as heated as the age-old Republican vs. Democrat

I for one, as you might guess, Believe that dogs prevail because we say “YES”

We say YES to playing ball and fetching the paper, And YES to Chasing squirrels and any other caper

We say YES to all sorts of food and treat, And YES to eating any food even if it smells like your feet

We say YES to car rides, bike rides, and pulling a cart, And YES we’ll go ANYWHERE which is what sets us apart

We are positive beings that aim to please, Heck, we will do tricks for a piece of cheese!

We are easy going and full of good cheer, We're ready to protect because we have no fear

Music to our ears are the words “Let’s Go”, To which you will never hear us say “NO"

We are the species of YES and that makes us superior, It’s really quite simple: we are just plain cheerier

In the opposing corner of this timeworn debate, Stands the species of which I most like to hate

It’s the species of NO and did I also say NO? It’s the feline who owns this word as their national motto
