(Gato)
Hacete el bobo hermano
no seas tan opa
te han comido el puchero
tomá la sopa.
Y aguantate otro poco, no pases hambre,
vas a precisar fuerza, pa' la corambre.
Dicen los viejos criollos
y no es mentira
cuando viene creciente, adiós… tararira…
Van a temblar de miedo, los cajetillas,
cuando se oigan los gritos por las cuchillas.
(La puntuación y la ortografía son de Alfredo Zitarrosa)
