frog on a pond
waits for a fly
all day long
the flies buzz by
he stabs with his tongue
like a shot in the night
and he takes his aim
like a day takes daylight
black cat's on the prowl
mouse on the run
needs some cheese
before the day is done
cat's in the cradle
mouse sniffed the cheese
cat set a mouse trap
snap went the mouse's knees
as a means to satiate
that craving that's aloof
a means to alleviate
his rotten black sweet tooth
that hunting that inebriates
the predator and prey
that runnin' that'll deviate
the game for another day
and the rest of my life
in the palm of my hand
sweaty hand at the wheel
I drive when I can
into the gas
I push with my weight
and I use my shoulder
to drive real straight
as a means to satiate
that craving that's aloof
a means to alleviate
my rotten black sweet tooth
that hunting that inebriates
the predator and prey
that runnin' that'll deviate
the game for another day
