Dead Cat

His cat died
It jumped from a wall too high
Or was it an electric fence?

I just know it died
It broke him into tears
Him, not the cat
The cat might have cried
But I doubt it

It probably lay in there in its last breath
Hoping there was a 9th life
“You give them a hand they want the whole arm”
Someone shouted from the skies

His cat died
Yesterday we didn’t know it was his last night
Perhaps I’d have padded it if I knew it was its time
Perhaps not

Yep, his cat died
And I should be more sympathetic
Less thankful for his mighty destiny
But isn’t it fair for all cats to die?
Eventually, I mean…

Now his cat is probably living in the sky
Or some kind of animal heaven out there in the universe
No dogs, just rats
Bunch of fat cats walking by

So don’t be sad your cat died
I show you my right boob if you stop the cry
