The Cat And The Toad

A cat ran across a path

After catching a rat on the road.

It jumped onto a wall on the side

And looked to pounce on a toad!

The rat flew from the cat's grip

And hid in the hole on the wall.

Shaken, the cat, unwary of the slip

Tried to take its prey like a ball!

The toad leaped into the puddle

And caught an insect flying by.

Amazed, I attempted to give a try

To solve, life's riddle

Too often we find that men in greed

Try to seek and poach on other's feed:

Knowing fully that- A Bird in Hand

Is worth Two in the Bush!
