4OE

You baretoothed, backyard brawler,
Fallen victim to your foe.
A bedraggled bloody mess
Trying hard to do his best
To lay down, and let go.

​

You could set alarms to
His late night pyscho show.
A friend without a voice
Ends up without a choice
To lay down, and let go.

​

You greet me on the driveway,
Night hunting little bro.
Always keen to wrestle,
On my chest, fireside, you'll nestle
Before you lay down, and let go.

​

Your off-tone, whingeing whine
Sounded less like cat, more like crow.
A truly wild beast,
Now here's your final feast.
Please, lay down, and let go.

​

You changed the way I thought of cats
In how you made me glow.
A stripey, fluffy fiend.
A forever, life-long friend.
Now I must lay down, and let him go.
