"Playmates"

Rough and tumble we have been
All throughout the day,
So now we stop to rest
And take a break from play.

I bit and snapped your ear,
You growled for me to quit,
I smacked you with my paw,
You really threw a fit.

We wrestled back and forth,
You pinned me to the ground,
I threw you off then chased you
Round and round.

We stalked through the bushes,
Great hunters of renown,
But all you really did,
Was look more like a clown.

We leaped for butterflies
But we never caught a one,
It really didn't matter
‘Because we did it all for fun.

You stopped to lick your fur,
But I wouldn't let you be,
You showed your fangs and gave a hiss,
But that didn't work on me.

Now the day is winding down,
We tried to do it all,
We romped and played and stirred it up,
We really had a ball.

Now you are my pillow,
As I lay my head on you,
It's nice to know I have a friend,
One who's tried and true.

So now ends another day,
We will sleep until the dawn,
Then rise and do it all again
Until that day is gone.
