You lay on the gravel,
Like you always do,
Your shining eyes and golden fur,
Fluffy, like you always are.
But you're not breathing,
Your little tongue is hanging out,
I can't bear it, my buddy,
Why your ears don't twitch?
Brave mouse hunter,
You were the thinnest,
Lovely little fella,
You always ate the least,
Yet I saw you one day,
Catch a big rat with your teeny-weeny teeth.
My valiant mouser,
Thank you for your service,
Farewell my buddy .
