Boo who de Residents

Now ---- there just is a cow
where --- once was a calf
now ---- there just is a stare
where --- once was a laugh
now ---- there just is a bone
where --- once was a bath
now ---- a tink-er-y toy
is ---- an epi-taph
a smile - would make believe
that ---- it had a friend
and ---- tomorrow's name
once ---- never would end
