Loneliness Calls

What do you do when loneliness calls?
Who can you turn to when corners are dim?
What do you do when happiness falls?
Who can you talk to when darkness closes in?

You put on a happy face, until the make up runs out.
You cry in the shower, until the water runs cold.
You eat your favourite pudding until your thighs get stout.
You sing aloud to your favourite songs from Solid Gold.

A cat will sense your state and snuggle up tight.
A puppy will feel your empty space and lick it away.
A pony will gallop you across fields with all his might.
A beloved pet will soothe you the more you both play.

So dress yourself up
Once you are all cried out.
Eat a good pudd
Then scream and shout!
