When his examples were weeds, then I had to agree

G G#
Mice can survive another ice age intact

A mouse can't survive a single night with my cat

Good luck to a cat with no Kibbles `n' Bits

Sparrows will survive, in the sky they ascend

Worms, oh yes worms, he said they'll be around

And they're living like kings in their holes in the ground
