about

I was getting to the end of the development and mastering of the tracks and recognizing that the approach was redolent of what I had done on the album, "So Many Birds," back in early 2021. I was playing around with a title for this song and wanted it to represent something about Oscar in this last period that brought us happiness (the sadness is covered amply elsewhere). I thought, "I still like treats!" But that conjured voids... "Everything else is gone. But I still got this!" So then I got to "I like treats a lot." But it seemed too long and too concrete. Then I remembered the song "Betty A Lot" on the "So Many Birds" album. The chorus of the song starts, "I really like Betty a lot." Though even Oscar's tail had stopped wagging (except once when I came back from being away for a few days), he still came running when he realized there might be treats!

Just walked
On a long slab of concrete
Probably hundreds of metric tons
To the store
Thinking about the similarities
And differences
Between me and a squirrel
