The Twelve Days of Catmas
The Twelve Days of Catmas
(from Christmas Carols for Cats, by Julie & John Hope)
On the first day of Catmas there came a gift from me,
A tear in your precious settee…
On the second day of Catmas there came a gift from me,
Two headless mice and a tear in your precious settee…
On the third day of Catmas there came a gift from me,
Three furballs, two headless mice and a tear in your precious settee…
On the fourth day of Catmas there came a gift from me,
Four feathered birds, three furballs, two headless mice and a tear in your precious settee…
On the fifth day of Catmas there came a gift from me,
Five fur-ry things, four feathered birds, three furballs, two headless mice and a tear in your precious settee…
…Six strays a-spraying…
…Seven trays a-brimming…
…Eight fish heads reeking…
…Nine fleas a-leaping…
…Ten toms a-wailing…
…Eleven kittens mewling…
…Twelve vet bills coming…
