Our cat Tom (Deceased)

I know I should apologise yet I ponder at my fault

I truly thought that every cat had abilites to vault

Most other times he ran away when I backed out of the drive

I mean it's only natural a cat's instinct to survive

I admit I've damaged other things like skateboards bikes and toys

But this time it was different you could tell so by the noise

Now the kids won't talk my wife won't talk I'm really in the pooh

Especially when I made that joke the one about cat stew

I said I'd buy another cat same type and age and fur

But unforgiving voices choired "he had a special purr"

What about a robot cat immune to hurt and pain

No support from either camp only looks iced with disdain

Eight times that cat survived a life with luck more apt than mine

I hap to be the luckless one who snuffed out number nine

Well old Tom I'm really sad and regret I did you wrong

So to prove my worth when I'm heaven bound I'll bring a mouse along
