Biting Remarks may be Rewarded in Kind

Do not call me a scaredy cat or other catty names;

Don’t have a cow, but I refuse to buy into your games

Of calling me bull-headed, big fat cow, a silly goose,

Or loosey-goosey, bird-brained, or a dumb sheep. What the deuce

Do you think you are doing? For—sheepish as I may be—

I’m not so woolly-minded as your image is of me,

And once you’ve riled me up enough with childishness so tryin’,

I may just turn around and bite you hard, and I ain’t lion.
