Ernie was a ginger tom

Who had a feline friend

Milo was as black as night

And lived just round the bend

They spent their days together

In kitchen or on bed

They probably shared a meal or two

To make sure each was fed

But sadly Ernie did expire

A victim of a car

Travelling on Old Park Road -

He hadn't ventured far

When brought back to his owner

Pal Milo came along

A final last acknowledgement

Of friendship oh so strong

And to this day he still returns

To garden where they played

A bond that's still not broken

And one in heaven made.
