This is a song Jerry is writing to his estranged pet goat. The goat and Jerry have had some great times and it seems implied at one time the goat was at one time was Jerry's savior. The "walls" refers to the fence that the goat lived in at Jerry's farm.
Now the goat seems to have become fragile following some event, possibly broken bones from the fence collapsing. The goat has too much pride to accept Jerry's help, feeling their friendship is unequal now that he's so needy. The "choking" refers to how goats can eat and swallow just about anything so they typically DON'T choke. Jerry feels his goat WILL choke on his pride all alone until he wants to keep living at his home.
