If you talk to your flowersAnd they start talking backIf they ask for a biteWhen you’re having a snack If they grab you and hug youAs you’re passing byAnd your home is devoidOf both spider and fly Then its time for some actionTo stop it expandingFor as it gets biggerIt gets more demanding Insisting on beef steakBut much worse than thatYou’ll get home one dayAnd be missing a cat Its appetite growingYou’ll be feeling perplexedThen, one day on the menuYou find you are next
