Big Black Cat


Oh, big black cat

How you've tormented me

Filled me with dread

At the thought of you 

With your beady yellow eyes

Black scrangy fur

And sharp dandalion teeth

You would always haunt my dreams

And give me nightmares

Actually you still do

I can't imagine going through that again

Since the dreams were based on my life

Most people can't wrap their minds around the facts

They can't believe a person did all of those horrible things

But they still say humanity is worth saving.
