Old nell's last croak


She were a good old soul her

they simply don't come better

I was squatting right by her side

when an owl came and ate her

+

She'd be the first to leap to your aid

shared her gnats with the needy

kind of ironic that she fell prey

to an owl who was just plain greedy

+

There was no time to say goodbye, no

nor even a chance to kiss her

e're fate swooped down from the sky

boy I am going to miss her

+

She was the best croak in this town

for gossip there was no-one better

to think I was there by her side

when an owl came and ate her.
