me and Shadow
we\'ve been partners
dang near nine years now-
Shadow he\'s gettin\' old
an\' tired lately
an\' so am i,
he\'s been a loyal
companion always
watchin\' out for me--
we are kinda like this
yesterday\'s newspaper
here we found
by the curb today-
we\'re old news
wrinkled an\' discarded;
folks just walk
on by, turn their
heads uncaring--
yep, we\'re outcasts of
society, unseen
like ghosts in the wind-
but we\'ll git by
we been through a lot
together him an\' i
through thick an\' thin--
i know he\'s hungry
an\' i am too,
but we\'ll make it
one day at a time,
we\'re buddies to the end
me and my Shadow~
