R.I.P. Squeaky Cat toy, 1999-2000

Oh Squeaky, how I miss you! Even after all these years,
nothing has filled the void. I wrote this for you the other day.

__________Squeaky Cat_____________

How your bumps massaged my gums!
I chewed on you, but we were chums
You made such a satisfying squeak
One day you fell silent, not even a 'peep!'

I tried to revive you by licking your nose
I felt such sorrow, right down to my toes
I'm man enough to admit I shed many a tear
For it was all my fault--I had bit off your ear!
