Little did we know…

Sadly, little did we know When far away we did go That events would transpire that Meant we would lose our cat

Outside Herbie spent much time Up trees and fences he’d climb If those things we had forbade A boring life would have made

Herbie was meant to be free That is why we couldn’t see Where he had been and got lost But this of him his life cost

If he’d not been left alone Might not have chosen to roam Instead near home could have stayed And not so far away strayed

So it is with much regret He his untimely end met But his short life was great ‘twas our anti-social mate
