Dear tabby cat with stubby tail,
I sketched you many times
In funny black and white cartoons
For you inspired my rhymes.
Oh Foss, oh Foss I feel your loss.
You were a friend to me.
Oh Foss, oh Foss I feel your loss.
And miss you terribly.
You were my muse of melodies.
You were the one I wrote
Into my famous children\'s poem
About the pea green boat.
Oh Foss, oh Foss I feel your loss.
You were a friend to me.
Oh Foss, oh Foss I feel your loss.
And miss you terribly.
When you were sitting on my desk
You always helped me think.
You rolled across my manuscripts
To help me dry the ink.
Oh Foss, oh Foss I feel your loss.
You were a friend to me.
Oh Foss, oh Foss I feel your loss.
And miss you terribly.
