First posted in RDP Tuesday: Theodore, where’s Chippy?

Reposted for Fandango’s Flashback Friday

 

Theodore, where is our one eyed  cat Chippy?

Did the big black dog from the cemetery next door spirit him away

when the fog rolled up from Woodbine River late last night?

 

Did Chippy snap? Did he bite,  did he claw

when the Big Black Dog from the cemetery next door

carried him off in his jaws?

 

Theodore, did you try to stop the Black Cemetery Dog

did you warn him away, did you howl did you growl?

Did you do anything at all to save Chippy,  when the Devil Dog came

to call?

 

Answer me this

do I need to sleep with one eye open

when you are around?

 

Because I’m starting to believe

the Black Cemetery Dog who carries off it’s prey doesn’t  live next door-

does he Theodore?
