Tune: CASEY JONES
We don’t need that south
Wellington Extension
The northern bit will
do the city fine!
Save six million
Keep a lovely park too
Start a public trail
For your grandkids
And for mine!
Tune: Wabash Cannon Ball
1) The men who run the city
Want to ram another road
Right through a waterfront park though
There’s already just loads
Of alternate routes to travel
No one needs anymore
But [...]

Tune: Hark The Herald A
Hark! Angels named Harold sing
All the rest don’t say a thing
Angels Ken and Mike and Pete
Do not make a single peep!
Against tradition we will go
Include old angels Hank and Joe
All of them should get a chance
Christmas carols to enhance
Like Olive in that reindeer song
Let all the angels sing along!

This picture of my husband Dick and I after a splendid wedding party in the Little Cataraqui Conservation Area this October was a gift from Caroline Kirkup. We knew she was taking pictures but hadn’t expected THIS! Here’s another shot of how she had it framed! Very grateful!

My hard-won 3,465 friends or thereabouts have been hard to manage. They keep leaving messages for me. No sooner have I read and deleted then the list is up another thousand. It takes me all afternoon to read and delete.
Getting my list to mid-point was a Facebook test, an attempt to understand the [...]

Eastside Restaurant on Concession is an unassuming Asian fooderie that takes Celiacs seriously. The manager/waitstaff says kindly that you may not have this or that when you order if you’ve told her you’re celiac. What they DO have for us is superb! This is the large plate of their chicken fried [...]

Tune: We 3 Kings of Orient Are
V1)We three cats would traverse afar
Perhaps attempt to dri-ive the car
We know where the keys are
We could blame the dog, sure
But right now we’ll stay where we are
CHORUS: Beeee-cause – No alarms needed
When cats are here
Cats are in the bedroom, dear
Waking you, shaking you,
Meowing and making you
Get up and [...]

Tune: Beginning to look a lot like Christmas
It’s beginning to look a lot like dogs now
Everywhere I go
It’s not just the yellow snow
The plastic bags (yes, I know -
I wish everyone would pick up but
a doggie has got to go!)
It’s beginning to look a lot like dogs now
Treats in every store
But the very best dog [...]

(For Siamese Kelly’s Mother who posted this title but no lyrics)
I saw mama hissing Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last night
She knew he shouldn’t be
Coming right down our chimney
Heading for the milk & cookies which
Were sitting by the tree
Then I saw mama hissing Santa Claus
That glass of milk was truly ours, you see.
Well, the cookies were [...]

Tune: Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a furry merry Christmas
Maybe just your pet and you
And a turkey (don’t give him the bones to chew!)
Once again, it is time for pets
(Always meal time for sure)
Faithful pets hear the can opener
And they’re begging food, once more
Through the year we all will be together
As bylaw allows
Cuddled [...]

Tune: We Wish You a Merry Christmas

Dogs really love Christmas
Cats frolic at Christmas
Food tastes best at Christmas
Great day for us pets!
A tree in the house?
No walkies we’ll need
Decorations to chew up
Are welcome indeed!
We’d all love a fishy pudding
Though a turkey will do-o
With extra food at Christmas
We barf up, we do!
All over the rug
And what remains [...]
