Here's one I wrote a long time ago; it's the second half of a pair of songs, the first being "Richard the Rat King"(for another thread)... Requiem for a Careless Cat

I'm sorry little girl, I didn't mean to kill your cat
I was drivin' pretty fast I know, but I thought cat's were smarter than that
he was headin' in from a hard day in the fields
guess that's where his thoughts were at
his eyes were full of home & dinner
and his mouth was full of rat
I couldn't stop I tried to swerve
I blew the horn he never heard
he ran on straight in front of my car
I guess that's how careless some cats are.

I drove right on by, I couldn't bear to face him
to see you cry or to try & replace him
I've got a cowardly heart but it broke just the same
I killed your cat
doesn't matter if him or me is to blame. Love the cat & the dog in all of us PBB
