Ol’ Nell’s last croak
they simply don’t come better
I was squatting right by her side
when an owl came and ate her
+
She would be first to leap to your aid
shared her gnats with the needy
quite ironic that she should fall prey
to an owl who was just plain greedy
+
There wasn’t time to say goodbye
no, not 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 old croak in town
for gossip there was none better
to think I was right there by her side
when an owl came and ate her.
