My Little Cat

You decided to drown your little cat. To save yourself a penny from that. You stuffed the kitten in a sack, Pulled the strap and tied it back. Threw the bag into dark water like you weren't Somebody's fa-Only the bowl came floating back. Only the bowl from your attack. The wind blew off your little hat when you Opened up that sack. Only the bowl. Only the bowl. No crying sounds, no little screams. Just metal clanging in your dreams. The makeshift coffin reached the shore, All went of what you always wore. Your frightened hands undid the rope, But found no fur, just broken Ho-o-ome. Only the bowl came floating back. Only the bowl from your attack. The wind blew off your little hat when you Opened up that sack. Only the bowl. Only the bowl. Walking sadly to your door, You hear a sound you heard before. Meowing softly, calling out. That's what love is all about. Your kitten's there beside her food, Right where she's always been and stood. But in the corner, nothing's there, Just empty space and evening air. The bowl you threw into the deep is gone Forever. While you wee-e-e-p. Only the bowl went floating away. Only the bowl from that dark day. Your little friend was here to stay, But her bowl has gone astray. Gone away. Gone away. Meow. Meow. She's still here. But where's her bowl?
