The Peace Anthem
Peace
Peace
Live in peace
Find peace in smiles
In good deeds
Find peace in truth
in a world of greed
Peace is the balm
for hearts that bleed
Let us strive
for a world at peace
And strife will wither
like rotten leaves
The Peaceful Life of Purr and Wag
Purr and Wag were quite a lot
They watched politics and fought and fought
They fought the neighbourhood cats and dogs
Over garbage bins and mutton chops.
Snoop shows were their next best thing
Of secret doors and poisoned pins
By family feuds they were most inspired
Paramours versus wives and trials by fire.
The whole day long they gnashed their teeth
And slyly filched each other’s feed
From dawn to dusk their owners wept
As neighbours cursed above their heads.
But Purr and Wag snored blissfully
Life went on just perfectly.
