FELINE FUGITIVE?

He loved her, there is no denying.
Now his soul is lonely crying.
Reckless driving cost his love.
Now she’s resting up above.

Explanation is unclear
Was it distraction, or beer?
Something else unaccounted.
Locals left slightly daunted.

All we know for sure is that
she is gone and so’s her cat.
Little Phil was pretty fat.
We’ll miss him and his funny hat.

But Phil was not found in the car.
Someone saw him in a bar
further down the road last night.
Could he have lived and taken flight?

We all knew Phil the Driving Cat.
His skill amused even Pat Rat.
He was renowned before this wreck.
Another legend shot to heck.
