Subject: RE: The Songs Writ for our Kids
Here's one I wrote for another -- Aine's charming daughter Caty, and her favorite kitten Maxie:

Caty's Kitten Song

Maxie Cat has feet like snow
Shows them everywhere she goes
Maxie loves to lick her fur
Listen to my Maxie purr!
Taking purple bubble baths
Maxie comes to have a laugh
While I try to plainly say
Things she'll need to know someday
 
Purr, purr! Like a drum
Hear her everywhere she comes
Hey, there mommy, look at that!
Up in the air goes Maxie Cat!
She sits on the toilet seat
While I talk and scrub  my feet
Purring like a motor boat
Taking very careful notes!
 
 
I love lots of different things,
Purple popsicles, and rings,
Kellan, Braden, TV shows,
Bedtime snacks on purple clothes!
Kellan and his best friend Jack
Love to dance with Maxie Cat
And when Mommy starts to play
We can dance and play all day
 
 
Pokémon and Sailor Moon
Mommy playing Irish tunes
Peanut butter, stuff like that,
But most of all I love that cat!
We can jig and dance the fling
Hornpipe, waltz or anything
Nothing is as fun as that,
Dancing with my Maxie Cat!
 
 
Maxie leaps up in the air
Catching baloon strings and hair
Licks me with her tongue and then
Leaps up in the air again
 
In the mirror she gets smitten
With another snow-foot kitten
Then she'll turn and run out back
Looking for her brother Jack!
