Wouldn't It Be Great

 Wouldn't it be great if your domestic cat
Concentrated on curtailing the numbers of mouse and rat 
And in other small animals and birds did not prey
But to live as predators is their natural way

Between plentiful and endangered small species of wildlife cats cannot differentiate
Though some people love them and think they are great
I cannot say i like them but do not wish on them ill
For cats are natural predators and born to hunt for to kill

Your favaourite moggy by the fire may purr on your knee
And really is not what you think it to be
Fewer birds in your garden of late for to sing
But to you this should not be a surprising thing

You must be naive not to be aware
That the reason that birds in your backyard have become rare
Is your favourite pet who sees nothing wrong 
In silencing the throat of a bird of song

That cats are not friends of small wildlife is obviously clear
They kill thousands of small endangered species every year
Your purring pet you hold in far too high essteem 
As it is not as harmless to you as it does seem.
