Old Black Cat

My old black cat pa*sed away this morning. He never knew what a hard day was Woke up late and danced on tin roofs If questioned "Why?" - answered, "Just Because" He never spoke much, preferrring silence: 8 lost lives was all he had. Occasionally sneaked some summer dinner He wasn't good and wasn't bad. My old black cat wasn't much of a looker. You could pa*s him by - just a quiet shadow. Got pushed around by all the other little guys. Didn't seem to mind much - just the way life goes. Padded about in furry slippers. Didn't make any special friends. He played it cool with wide-eyed innocence, Recieving gladly what the good Lord sends. Forgot to give his Christmas present. Black cat collar, nice and new. Thought he'd make it through to New Year. I guess this song will have to do. My old black cat... Old black cat...
