Those Wacky Crazy Canadians
(Nutra Stick Productions, 1999)
The Food Chain
The cat sat on the porch
Staring at the mouse
Thinking about eating him
But doing nothing
The mouse sat on the step,
Staring at the roach
Taste buds tingle with each leg,
Yet it does not attack it's prey
The roach sat on the rail
Staring at the grass
A sweet green tasty treat,
Yet it stayed on its cold black road
The grass lay on the soil
Thinking of clear liquid treat
It's home would have it running great,
But here it will have to wait
The man sat in his home
Thinking of the grass outside
He should water it right away.
Hell, it could wait another day
The dog lay dead in the road
The owners didn't close the gate
But they won't have to pay
They'll buy a new dog to die another day
The woman drives in her car
Thinking about what she has just done
No understanding would be at her job
If she had hit a dog and had to stop
