Dear Santa, she’s loopy.
We both know that’s true.
But as she’s my two-legs…
Well, what can I do?
Outside it is rainy
It hasn’t snowed yet,
And she sings of sleigh-bells…
Should I call the vet?
She’s singing of holly
And decking the halls…
And losing her focus
On my tennis balls.
I’m getting fed-up
With this whole singing thing
Especially given
She can’t even sing!
She’s getting quite hoarse
(And she sounds like one too)
But it’s keeping her happy,
So what I can do?
I have buried my head
Under cushions and stuff
But my beauty-sleep suffers
I’m looking quite rough…
And what is her answer?
She’s having a laugh!
“You look a bit scruffy…
I’ll give you a bath.”
I have already had
More than three baths this year
So in answer I gave her
A flea in her ear!
(Not a real, living flea,
I want you to be clear,
I’d not want to stop you
From turning up here.)
But honestly, Santa,
I’m getting depressed,
This singing malarkey
Is stealing my rest.
And if you can’t stop her
One bright starry night,
The frost’s not the only thing
That’s going to bite!
It’s awful when something’s
Disturning your sleep!
I know I must calm myself…
Try breathing deep.
And I guess if she’s happy,
And singing in rhyme,
I’ll just have to join her…
It is Christmas time!

Just tonight, Mom and I went over to Aunt Peggy’s to help her get stuff ready for Christmas (because she got a new hip and can’t do everything herself – and she’s not supposed to lift things). They played Christmas music kinda’ loud and sang along as Mom put a bunch of tiny lights on an outside tree that Aunt P brought right into that room next to her kitchen. I kind of liked it, because the tree at our house doesn’t have a good smell like Aunt P’s.
Then Mom brought some boxes up from a big room I’ve never seen before (hidden underneath Aunt P’s house) – and those boxes were full of shiny things that they BOTH put all over the tree while they kept right on singing. Just when I thought it was all starting to get to be too much, they brought out the dinner! They were in such great moods they even let me have some too. As long as singing means chicken and veggies for me, I’m all for it.
Woof! Tink

Yeah, it seems to put mine in a good mood too. Pity she can’t do it very well though 🙂 Sounds like you had a proper Christmassy time, Tink 🙂 ❤

It was pretty nice once the food came out. They wouldn’t let me chew on anything else – which was sort of mean because they just threw that wrapping stuff in the trash.

They really do have some weird ideas, Tink. Just humour them 😉 x

Well, Ani, if her singing is so bad, you couldn’t make it any worse by joining in. The two of you might even get somewhere near the same key. And, Santa will come soon, just a few days, and then you can both relax (maybe).
