Made it past the halfway point! In spite of a fierce cold!
Now, forTwitter's Sample Sunday, I decided to post a Christmas... er Cat-mas Carol.
Long ago I wrote songs for my cats' website. I haven't done it in quite a while, but this is one of the more popular tunes. At the time I had three Siamese cats (you know "cats of Orient"?) whom I nicknamed "The Good, The Bad and The Fluffy." They had a three-way pecking order going, but they all knew how to cooperate at Christmas....
We Three Cats
(sung to the tune of "We Three Kings")
We three cats of Orient do
help our mom wrap presents for you.
Paper crinkles oh so beautifully.
Give us some stuff to chew.
Ohhhh OHHHHHHHH,
Sit on paper, sit on bows.
Get the tape stuck on your toes.
Wrap your tail all up in ribbons.
Don't let scissors cut your nose.
We three cats just love to explore
right where mommy's doing her chores.
Lay right there and shred the paper.
Knock presents on the floor.
Ohhhh OHHHHHHHH,
Sit on paper, sit on bows.
Get the tape stuck on your toes.
Wrap your tail all up in ribbons.
Don't let scissors cut your nose.
We three cats shut out of the room,
howling like we're meeting our doom.
Mommy scorns our help, what's wrong with her?
Guess we'll just sit and fume.
Ohhhh OHHHHHHHH,
Sit on paper, sit on bows.
Get the tape stuck on your toes.
Wrap your tail all up in ribbons.
Don't let scissors cut your nose.
(Oh, shoot, and I JUST spilled tea all over myself without any assistance from felines whatsoever. I guess it's time to Say Goodnight Gracie...)
Tomorrow I'll start blogging about productivity. I have ambitious goals for next year. How do I get there?
