Wearing the Collar

                I live with a lady and four cats
                and some days we all get
                along.

                some days I have trouble with
                one of the
                cats.

                other days I have trouble with
                two of the
                cats.

                other days,
                three.

                some days I have trouble with
                all four of the
                cats

                and the
                lady:

                tens eyes looking at me
                as if I was a dog.
