"Cat Fight ! " Cat-mas Carol #11

Just hear those
yowling kitties, who claw and mangle and bite...
don't you know that it's a
lovely moment for a full-fledged, screaming, cat fight...
yes things are
nice and noisy, as we hear a chorus or two,
we know it's
just the moment, let the growly cat fight ensue...

Get them out, get them out, get them out of there,
they'll wreck the armoire...
its just been fixed from the "last time"...
Keep them out, keep them out, that's off limits too...
that poor leather chair...
and the plant that's been dumped 8 times,
is a little the worse for wear...

there they go
through the living room, under the table, oh, my...
they're gon-na
break that lamp if they bump it, just one more time...
and still they
roll a-round, bit-ing, kick-ing, shriek-ing, "just die !" ...
it's hard to
think that just a bit a-go, they slept side by side...

I think they're
losing interest, the mayhem level has dropped,
for all the
noise and action, no one seems to be quite dead yet...
they might be
"playing possum", waiting 'til they know the vet's closed
because it's
more fun then, to be a vic-tim, well be-fore dawn...

then we go, then we go to "e-mer-gen-cy",
at 10 times the cost,
after driving 6 miles in the pouring rain...
and the pain, and the gunk of an abcessed paw,
can't wait for the morn...
when the regular vet is in and it
costs less than my 1st born...

so I hope
that these dummies are done, with terror tonight...
I hope they
will just "chill out" and, let's, please, have no more fights...
because I'm
nice and cozy and don't want to deal with cat bites...
it's time for me to go to bed and now, I'll turn out the lights...
[...NOOOOOOOO Cat Fights...]
Good night !
