Ode to Septimus

My friend Septimus is no more
Once he lived on my garage door
We saw each other every day
Our friendship grew in every way
Now, alas he's lost and gone
Have I the strength to carry on?
"What was his fate?" in pain I cry
Mayhap a mean bird in the sky
Who hungrily with evil eye
Him on my garage door did spy?
Who bore him off against his will
In order to his stomach fill
O yes my friend I loved you well
But all you left is empty shell
And slimy trail upon my door
Which will remind for evermore
Me of your sad and tragic end
Farewell forever, faithful friend
