CHARLIE

Your sweet,

your kind, your gentle,

And you taste so good tonight

I can’t seem to remember when

we cut you up, with a knife

Your fur

it was pretty, soft to the touch

but your meat like your fur

is soft; like fine steak

only better.

I’ll never forget you

you were my pet

but, now your gone.

your flesh,it’s not too bad

where did I go wrong?…..
