Paws and claws

Once upon a time in Brievesville lived a cat called Paws and a fox called Claws. (one line)

Claws always nibbles on Pawses kibble
And Paws can only dribble
Into his empty bowl.

One day Paws walks into Claws.
Claws says, Ha Ha you silly cat, go away and don’t come back.(one line)
Paws angry says, Stop teasing me!
You lolly-legs frog-throat monkey- mouth. (one line)

Claws paused
In shock
And that cat
Made that fox scat.

From that day forward no-one ever
Hears a squawk out of Claws.
