The New Nature

</>A very sophisticated cat and dog Together sit, quietly upon a log They observe a lark Hopping through Central Park Both by instinct Desire to leap But, both by sheer will Remain perfectly still - The wild bird, fully unaware Passes inches in front of the pair Merrily singing it's song As it bounces along - After the prey has flown One thing remains to be known: Why had neither the dog nor cat Been on the attack? ' Quite easily explained ' Comes their mutual refrain, ' As well-informed, green-thinking, modern agrarians We have, ofcourse, become organic vegetarians.'
