CAT Tracks for December 24, 2011
TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Twas the night before Christmas , a nap just gone bye
A moment of panic, almost making me cry!
My Ode to Leotis...was it all just a dream?
Must I bring bad tidings to CATs...making them scream?

First I pinched myself, then ran for the computer
Called up CAT Tracks...Ron is always a square shooter.
He may be liberal, he may be pro-teacher
But he tells the honest truth on things that matter.

Ah, yes, no need to fret, Swopes departure is real.
Let him have his finger waggin', we can now heal.
Time to eat, drink, and be merry, Santa is near
Tis the season to be jolly, Happy New Year!

So let me wish you CATs a happy holiday
May the coming year be yours in every way.
"As the District Churns" is canceled from daily soaps
Let it be known, we can once again have high hopes!

CAT Tracks Editor's Note:

    I'm not a poet,
    and don't I know it!

But...

...at the expense of Edgar Allan Poe and Clement Clarke Moore, I've had my holiday fun.

That'll do it for at least another year!


FOOTNOTE:

My personalized, portrait Christmas cards arrived today of all days...a little late to mail them for this year.

However, at my age, I take solace that my appearance shall not change much before Christmas next.

So, Dear CAT Friends, below is a preview of coming attractions:


BTW:

I can tell you that there are TWO occasions that "belling the CAT" is acceptable and appropriate:
