A picture of our shared paw

Pet

On a rainy swampy day
They found me in a hole of clay!

They gave a home where I could sleep!
I'd rise, I'd eat, I'd count the sheep!

I woke up late and watched the cars
They came and went, near and far!

The ghosts would haunt the room at night
Playing, dancing with the light

I'd take my toys and go downstairs
My toys would leave me worse for wear!

I'd take my thoughts and run up top
My thoughts and thoughts, they wouldn't stop!

I'd sit and roll and cry and hide
Till owner saw, pushed me aside!

Days came quick and nights stayed longer
I looked for hope and found a daughter!

The daughter was a mini-me,
I realized then I had no glee!

I woke up, the kid was gone
I had to find them or I'd long!

I rushed into the snow and dirt,
I found a bone that screamed out hurt!

The owner dragged me back inside
I sat and sat and cried and cried

I cried and cried and cried and cried
I cried and cried and cried and cried


Today I woke up, It's OK!
I live to see another day!

Owners gone and nothings wrong
Now I write and sing my songs!

Owners here and somethings black
Silence loudest in the shack!

Somethings wrong and I don't know
Owner knows and I'm a ghost!

I haunt the place and taunt the cats
the cats dont even paw me back!

I look out there, theres nothing left!
Looks like mother knows no best



On a rainy swampy day
I found a hole that's made of clay!

With the clay I made a pot
In the pot I put a rock!

I made a thing and it's all mine!
I own this thing and claimed its time!

My pot's my very very best
It studies books and passed the tests

The pot's my favorite favorite pet
With me it will stay content!

Pot's my friend and never leaves
Pot says nothing when I sneeze

Pot keeps all the things inside
If it spilled I'd lose my mind!

Pots now cracked and it's all black
Black and black inside the shack





Snow is white and I'm a cat
I keep on coming back to that

I dig in snow and find more dirt
I miss things when they wouldn't hurt

I found a bone and It's OK
I'll keep it close when skies turn grey

No more owners, no more pots
Just a bone to stop the thoughts

Thoughts and thoughts, they wouldn't stop
I'm a pet and they're all cops

Found a cat that's more my size
Keeps me cozy when I hide

Rasy, Rasy, call me crazy
You think we'll ever see the daisies?

Reds and Yellows, score galore
Grasses where you shed your thorns

Healing lights a funny flame
Laughing seems to ease the pain!

Owner never knew these things
Owner wouldn't feel the same

Skies are gone, there's nothing left
Time to take our final breath

Saw a star that said your name
Your name lights a funny flame

Fire keeps me warm at night
Night will last me all my life



I'm a pet and that's the thing
No one wants to hear me sing...
