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
