If tobacco is such a deadly thing
Why waste it the catsI
Why not take 1t to the barn
And feed it the rats.
There are lots of rats around the barn,
They eat the wheat and rye,
We need that stuff to send the boys
As cookies, cake and pie
The cat doesn't eat the grain
Nor rob the children's banks,
So why waste tobacco on the catsF
Let's try it the cranks,
If you want to do humane act
And be a real good scout;
just take it to the city jail,
And clean the bedbugs out
Or If House is such a desperate thug,
As Gordon appears to think,
why not give to him a black cigar,
And put him>on the blink?

Is TO kill kitten eat
