Having spent most of yesterday taking Nana (who's blind) out and about, Mummy had to put her feet up yesterday evening to recover for a bit and decided to listen to one of her favourite silly CD's while I snuggled up with her. This was really the first time I've listened to this CD properly and since I found it so very funny I thought I'd share it with you all - well sometimes us kitties do get the urge to treat our beans to little KissMouse presents... ;)Since I think the first track from the 1st CD pretty much speaks for itself I though I'd just write down the silly poem for you and let you all have a good giggle! :) The rest of the CD is pretty much just as funny, even if it's not all about cats... My other suggestion of good KissMouse presents for your beans are some of the "Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers" of Marc Gunn!
GUIDE CATS FOR THE BLIND
(words by Les Barker/music by Cindy Mangsen)

The word 'futile' springs to mind;
Mission Impossible; yes, that's
The attempt to harness for mankind
The intelligence of cats.
You've made a basic error;
Now let me expound;
This master/servant thing's OK
But no, not that way round;
We don't do the faithful subject;
We don't do the daily grind;
You should never have attempted it;
Guide cats for the blind.
Give kitty so much trust
And we'll abuse the privilege;
You think you're going out?
You're opening the fridge.
You think I'm trying to help you?
I'm not serving man but mammon;
You think you've gained a faithful friend;
You've lost a plate of salmon.
I might lead you down the High Street;
I'll be back when I have dined;
We get very, very hungry being
Guide cats for the blind
It can't be very pleasant -
Of this I've little doubt -
To have your head stuck in a catdoor,
Whether facing in or out.
You could be here a day or two
One half out in the rain;
I've got to go; I've things to do;
Maybe I'll pass this way again.
A dog would go for help;
Cats are not that way inclined.
Cats have better things to do than being
Guide cats for the blind.
Of some matters I am ignorant,
But this I know for certain;
The best place for a blind man
Is not halfway up a curtain.
And why should he they have to be
Up on a roof at 4am?
It's the perfect place for me
But what's in it for him?
It was where I had to go
And he just tags along behind
I don't know why; only a fool would follow
Guide cats for the blind.
I once met a man called Pavlov;
From time to time, he rang a bell;
Simple toys make humans happy
But I have to say that, well,
I found it a disturbance, and
Poor chap, I think he knew it,
And soon he only rang his bell
When I wanted him to do it.
