Where in the world is Shredcat?
is a good question
when something as essential to life
as the dear skateboarding cat
goes missing from view, when
this stupid earth is a rotting pumpkin.
No wonder the trees grow the weirder
limbs the further up you go.
No wonder the helicopters fly so high.
No wonder the basketball star jumps
and jumps. Go ahead and ask again:
Where is he? Probably in my heart<3
*
He wore an expensive costume
a doctor with an oversized stethoscope
and everyone said HEY YOU'RE SHREDCAT
YOU ALREADY SAVED US
He changed into an oversized sheet
brand new high thread count white
and everyone said HEY SHREDCAT
NICE SPOOKY TRY
He put on an eye patch and hook
trapped kids in nets and stole their candy
and everyone said HEY SHREDCAT
YOU CAN'T HIDE THE GOODNESS
He put on a tutu and did a pirouette
kickflip and the treating families went past
and everyone said HEY SHREDCAT
YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL THE WAY YOU ARE
*
That little yellow light
like a bat with the warmest heart
flies around the kids' heads
those little ghosts and ghouls
like bats with cold wings
SHREDCAT invites them in
for warm apple cider and brownies
shaped like bats with gooey centers
and cold edges.
They steal his skateboard
and eat clumps of his fur.
How terribly we treat our heroes!

Them: OMG SHREDCAT YOU GOT FAT
Him: Those brats took my skateboard and left me with all that candy. GIVE ME A BREAK.
