Recitation.

Kitties!


KonaKitty here, relaxing in my heavenly Heaty Cat Cup.

Our friends Derby & Ducky issued a challenge (via the Trout Talkin' Tabbies) to come up with a parody of The Twelve Days of Christmas without making any references to birds.  After giving this some thought, (and taking a few naps) I decided to go with a Mojave Desert theme!
So, without any further ado, my rendition of:

The Twelve Days of  Mojave Catmas

On the twelfth day of Catmas, my true love gave to me
Twelve scorpions stinging
Eleven Lizards lounging
Ten Jacks a-jumping
Nine Bobcats hissing
Eight snakes a-rattling
Seven Mule Deer Braying
Six Coyotes* yipping
Five Ringtail Cats
Four Bighorn Sheep
Three Black Widows
Two Gila Monsters
And a Pack Rat in a Mesquite

What do you think?  I rather like it.


Happy Wednesday!

XX  KonaKitty  XX


*Properly pronounced ki-oats, not ki-o-tees, which is for rubes.

    Wow - we have to go and look some of those up! That is most impressive. But Mirsku is really hoping he is not expected to give any of these to his true love, May Ling!

    Uh, I like it, in theory, but I don't want ANY of those things. Let me be clear Salem, in case you're tempted to send them: No, no, no! And no again.

    Well, okay. Maybe a sheep. But nuffing else.

    Bravo, Bravo! (and that looks like a pawsome sleepy place - much safer than the top of the deep freeze that George has taken up on lately!) T.

    Great job, Kona Kitty!

    Lishy would be happy to show you all how to store spiders in pantaloons. Pantaloons are an excellent place to raise them as minions!

    Kona this was wonderful!!

    Mom is aghast that she is using the wrong pronunciation for the hockey team!! She will correct herself immediately...if they ever get back to business with this lockout.

    KonaKitty, I love that heated cat cup. Love it.

    That was a very clever song. But, the lady got a shiver when she read that first line because she was stung by a scorpion a couple of years ago! It REALLY hurt.
