Okay, since a couple other people have posted their little ditties, I
figured I'd post mine.  I wrote this a good while ago and I'm afraid I'm
dating myself since I haven't seen the "Slinky" advertisement and music
for a long time!
 
Ferret Slinky
 
(sung to the tune of the Slinky advertisement)
 
They slink and they hop
they jump and they drop
they like to take off with your socks.
And what could be worse?
they empty your purse!
They're cunning and sly like a fox.
 
CHORUS:
A ferret, a ferret
the best living fur-covered toy
a ferret, a ferret
a manic and cuddly joy.
(a manic and cuddly joy)
 
They chirp and they dance
they'll climb up your pants
and into your shirt for a nap.
They drag off your shoes
without leaving clues
and then they'll climb into your lap.
 
CHORUS

Thought for the day:
    If "boring women have immaculate homes," I must be very interesting!
