Talking About Football The Cat Was Talking Back

TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL. the CAT WAS TALKING BACK.

“I saw someone under my kitchen table, talking to an old tom cat, they were talking about football, the cat was talking back” A line from a Tom Paxton song “Wasn’t that a party ?” I guess that would be American football. It doesn’t matter to me, it’s all just mindless appeasement of the masses.

TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL, THE CAT WAS TALKING BACK.

I once had a conversation, about football with cat
He knew more about it than I do, take what you want from that
Politics doesn’t interest me, it’s all just gain saying and cant
And politicians know less about the world than does a rotting cabbage plant

The way the world actually works, now that’s a different matter
How the rich and powerful feed off it like an endless banquet platter
They do not own this world, it is not theirs to plunder
So my favourite conversation then, is how they’re dragging us under..

All Words Meadowhead Bard.
