Gay Blade Garcia
Gay Blade Garcia was a very angry non-accomplished cat.
He lived a lie for a life, and it kept him mad and fat.
His mother kept telling him she loved him and his preferences did not matter.
He was a general in the army, but still mad as a teapot hatter.
Just have the life you want, his grandmother cat told him with guff.
He had ribbons on his breastplate, but it simply was not enough.
He had a partner, Jake, that he wanted to tell about to the world.
But in Cat City, this news would be like grim reaper being unfurled.
So he stormed into battle with his sword and his badges, killing people.
Burning down buildings, slathering blood around, toppling church steeples.
Gay Blade Garcia spent much of his life showing how manly he was.
When actually inside he was sobbing, a warm sweet bit of fuzz.
His partner Jake eventually wandered off on his own, disconnected.
He could not take his partner being so sad, and horribly sad affected.
Gay Blade Garcia was the saddest general in the army of Cat City.
He was sad the rest of his life because not being yourself is not pretty.
