It struck me that many of you will be too young to know the Lovin'
Spoonful and their songs. Let me recommend them! The group was the
start for some fine musicians whose current music you very likely will
know. In fact, I recently noticed that their 'Best of' is showing up
at extremely low prices, and you can learn the tunes for the Loving
Handful's songs (except for the enclosed and the show tunes which were
West Side Story and Annie, Get Your Gun pieces) from it. (BTW, when I
get I chance I want to do Silver Bells, Frosty, Dad caught Mommy ...,
and Winter Wonderland, as well as some of the songs from South Pacific,
and some Gilbert and Sullivan (Why aim low?) IF I can find the tunes to
all (Have G.&S, and S.P..). Should one of you beat me to it, we will
just have many verses! In fact, feel free to add to any Loving Handful
songs!
Now, for a limited time only! We are offering
tickets to the Loving Handful's Holiday Tour!
Deck the halls with misplaced feces
Fa la la la la la la la la
Scent marking is in our species
Fa la la la la la la la la
Burrow now in your apparel
Fa la la la la la la la la
While you sing this ferret carol
Fa la la la la la la la la
We will kiss you and seem so sweet
Fa la la la la la la la la
Then we'll groom the viens on your feet
Fa la la la la la la la la
We will tell you that we're so good
Fa la la la la la la la la
We do just what mustelids should
Fa la la la la la la la la
Now we'll kiss you till you are raw
Fa la la la la la la la la
Then we'll drag off your new hack saw
Fa la la la la la la la la
We will keep you safe and happy
Fa la la la la la la la la
'Cause ferrets make good people sappy
Fa la la la la la la la la
O Christmas tree, I'll set you free of ornaments and tinsel
O Christmas tree, you bear such treats as candy canes and mints;
L. Is eating them and I'll be blamed
For his hob acts; he should be shamed
O Christmas tree, a sprite should be able to make them think well
chorus: Jingle bell
On mousie tells
When Spot hides it away
For ferrets during playtime it's
Christmas every day
Dashing round the room
We haven't got all day
Things go bang and boom
We know how to play
Let's climb up the tree
Tinsel's hung too high
What fun it is to cheat and steal, and mess
and jump and lie
Ohhhhhhhh!
chorus: Jingle bell
On mousie tells
When Spot hides it away
For ferrets during playtime it's
Christmas every day
Steve, Ruffie, Spot and I all have a stupid virus so I am very, very,
very flaky (nothing new there). Meltdown, 'Chopper, Meeteetse and
Warp are giving us a wide berth. (Oh, #@**^, now you know that I grew
up on a harbor (Port Jeff) and come from an old shipping (defunct) and
Navy blood line (Bruce will rail me even though they wouldn't take me
in '68 'cause of my allergies, but I cut my teeth on a WWII Blue
Jacket's Manual) No wonder I can out-curse most anybody and eventually
want a house with a widow's walk; it's from having salt water instead
of blood.) Hey, Bruce! I'm firmly convinced that young ferrets'
attitudes are due to their aspirations to swagger around ports, or
to become test pilots, or to beat Loudenslager's national aerobatics
record (This is why their cluck sounds are drawn out -- it's
Yeagering, and I swear I've seen them lumshivak!) For those who have
never seen the latter: the Sussex, N.J. Air Show will be 8/25-27.
Then you WILL understand! !!!!) Navy and Air Force blood against the
world! (Okay, the rest -- humorous replies telling why they are
instead members of your family's force, school, peace march, Rotary,
etc! That's a challenge! Let's grin!)
Fairies given shape
Spins and swirls throughout the room
Joyous ferrets fey
Sukie
P.S. Troy-Lynn, If it's not in a doorway as in many old houses put
together a table or plant stand with closed sides to 3 to 4 feet and
then lattice on rest of sides and top to keep ferrets from register.
You'll have return air then, albeit a bit warmer than floor level air.
