The lonely cat
There once was a lonely cat
Who never knew where he was at
He roamed the empty vast street
In search of a tasty treat
He felt as no one cared
And lived the life most dared
Chasing shadows in the moonlight
And giving up when things werent right
He found an empty hole
Where there wasnt even a soul
Somewhere all alone
He could call his own
And then the day came
When the pound set claim
A new life in a box
Captured behind the locks
Days and weeks passed
But then at last
The lonely cat was taken
Where he would later awaken
With a friend to play
And love every single day
