"Who's the cat?" [Shaft challenge doggerel]

Who's the cat that won't cop out
when there's danger all about?
who's the mouse that won't cave in
when there's cheese that one might win?

who's the bird that won't rest still
when there's pie upon the sill?
who's the fish that's not deterred
by the fear of cat or bird?

who's that human hardly cowed
by the barking fierce & loud?
who's that dog who won't sit quiet?
humble pie's not on his diet


=====================

this by way of hello (from cafe cafe newbie);
it will be noted I took liberties with the
basic instruction -- incorporating in lieu
of epigraphizing. Arguably the former is
a species (or -- well -- a kissin' cousin)
of the latter, yes?

cheers,
d.i.
