Here is a tale of a dog and a cat

A pot bellied pig, so pink and so fat

Of days in the garden alongside a farm

A whimsical story of magic and charm

The dog as he was of bushy descent

Yellow in color where ever he went

Digging a hole was is prime source of fun

As a matter of fact he had just finished one

The collar he wore was a leathery find

With studs made of silver so brightly it shined

His tail ever wagging a happy old sort

Along with his friends as his always escort

The cat on the other hand, sleek and so fine

A coat made of orange with stripes it combined

Cleaning a habit I see in all cats

But this one was special for it wore a hat

A tiny straw chapeau with fine feathered brim

And ribbon of pink that was wrapped round her chin

Though not really sure if a cat finds the style

But more as I looked I would bet that she smiled

And there to her left with a snort and a grunt

Was a portly built fellow the legs of a runt

Fine wispy hair that did cover the skin

With a gather of long ones that hung from his chin

Puffing along an attempt to keep pace

The dog and the cat and the pig they would race

Faster and faster they’d run through the fields

Though what was the secret of friendship revealed

None were the same as they differed and so

Still bound together a’ running they’d go

Never before as I think about that

Has a dog or a pig ever friended a cat

For ever so prissy I can not recall

A cat who was friends with a pig and a dog

Though still I could see right abreast of my eyes

These three companions did bring the surprise

What is the moral of all that I see?

It does not matter of your company

Whether a dog or a cat or a pig

You can make friends with whomever you see

People are different in color and race

But everyone seems to be wearing a face

A face that can smile, a face that can cry

A face that can hello or even good bye

If only we look at each other the same

Will we have the fortune of learning their name

And no matter the differences that we might see

It pays for each of us to always to be

Nice to each other and all things like that

Just like the dog and the pig and the cat
