the chestnut trees, the wishing well.

[appaloosa]

i am in love with an old cat whose name is rat.
he is an old man, and he makes old man noises and purrs
when i give him a scratch.

the wind was blowin' hard last night and he came around
why did you decide to be my friend now?
maybe you know that im going away.

he knows just when to be on the stoop
his pop passed away and i think hes lonely too.
or maybe he just needs his old spine rubbed.
i dont think he gets enough attention at home,
i can feel all his bones.

i love you rat,
youre my mangy old sweetheart.
