It’s a cats’ life, the dark,
An owl’s sight, briefly dark,
A dog’s life, chaos of all
That’s savage.

It’s a wife’s life, what’s dark,
A cowl’s night, eternally dark.
A kid’s slice of life, eternally lit,
Mentally ravaged.

It’s a whale’es life, sharp dark,
A coward’s way, always;s dark.
A game’s sight, fraternally quarked,
Sentimentally lavaged.
