Ungrateful cat







Cats were like cats,


Dogs like dogs


And man like man.





Cats were like cats


Dogs a bit like dogs


And a bit like man,


And man was like man.





Cats were like cats


Dogs like man


And man was like


Man and like dogs.





The cats were worried


The dogs did not care


People were dogs


And dogs had no identity.





The cat was ungrateful


It left, just like that.

nankör kedi

nankör kedi

Kedi kedi gibiydi
Köpek, köpek.
Insan, insan gibi.

Kedi kedi gibiydi
Köpek biraz köpek
Biraz insan.
Insan, insan gibi.

Kedi, kedi gibiydi
Köpek insan
Insan hem insan
Hem köpek gibi.

Kedi tedirgindi.
Köpek umarsiz.
Insan köpekti,
Köpek kimliksiz.

Kedi nankördü.
Çekti gitti.
