Now he's been with me ever since |
The sun was shining bright that day The rain had finally stopped Put on my shorts and favorite T Slipped on my old flip-flops Slapped sunscreen on my face and neck Then grabbed my baseball hat Before I slipped on out the door I stopped and fed the cat Climbed into my trusty Jeep And turned the key to start It struggled to get going then Gave out a moaning fart Engaged the clutch, threw it in gear Then rolled the windows down Turned on some music way up loud And headed out of town I didn’t even have a plan Just had a need to go Maybe I would end up in Some place I didn’t know I drove six blocks before I braked Pulled over to the side There was something nagging me Some voice from deep inside Something buzzing in my head Just like a pesky gnat All at once it came to me I didn’t own a cat Turned my car and headed home My head was filled with doubt Did I really have a cat? I’d have to go find out And there he was as big as life Just sitting on a chair Looking like he owned the house Without a single care Now he’s been with me ever since That’s how it came to be You could say I adopted him … or he adopted me |
