The Ballad of Mr. Freckles

Freckles has left, never to return.

Everyone misses him, the whole town and you.

Where he is at, is my main concern,

Mr. Freckles, my man, I bid you adieu.

*

I remember last December, when I wasn’t with you,

And then in July on my arm your tattoo.

Then the bb in your ear came out.

The bb, I have, and you I’m without.

*

It was said Mr. Freckles was a mean prick.

He was never seen twice, with the same chick.

Buy him a pack so he won’t steal your stash.

Freckles, you junkie, we loved you for it.

*

One day he went missing, my dearly loved cat.

Friend that I miss and pet I once had.

I looked in the streets, but you weren’t there all splat.

Freckles I hope you checked into rehab.

I miss my cat is all :-C

  7. I'm not a cat person because my roomates think cats descended from the gods but I have to admit this is kind of cute and I bet Mr. Freckles was kind of cute to. Just don't let anyone know I ever said this.
