The Shoe Snatcher
I caught her sitting on a pile of sand,
meditating like some modern-day Aristotle,
Shoe Snatcher at her best, or should I say, worst.

Insect crasher, crawling things strangler.
Girl's always making me clean after her,
we burry bodies together.

She's a good digger,
a trash collector,
she's got the yard piled up with garbage,
and although that infuriates me,
all the silly stuff she does makes my heart melt for her even more.

She follows me wherever I go,
to the river, to the shop, to the neighbours,
she always sticks with me.

Sometimes she upsets me,
takes my brand new pair of shoes and chews on it,
still can't get upset enough,
she's just too adorable, even when she's up to no good.

Shoe Snatcher is the best company,
I mean... for a lonely girl like me,
she makes me feel like I have a reason to live.
And I love her.
