(I wish I had some ferrets right now to send up the pants of the Chicago Blackhawks!! We lost in OT, 4 to 3 -- but the officiating was crap, I have to say . . . sorry, I just had to get that off my chest . . .)

Now, here's my little ditty. I know that it doesn't hold a candle to Kevin's or Amos' efforts; but, I had to do it, didn't I?

Ferretman's Lament
(Tune: If I Fell)

Since I fell in love with you,
And I promised to be true,
The fuzz don't understand.
They came bursting through my door,
And they made me really sore,
I had to take a stand.

They are taking me down to
the jail tonight,
And they're taking you away
beyond the light,
I know,
'Cuz I kept on saying no
to them,
When they wanted you to go
Away.

As I sit now in my cell,
I have to say,
That the law can
go to hell,
Then I'll keep my little pals,
'Cuz they can't keep me away
from you,
Even though they say you run
wild in the loo.

Though the guys down in Block D
make fun of me,
I'll stand up in court,
you'll see,
Take the third degree for you,
You're my Prozac on four legs,
And yet,
Up in the air will be your pegs
at the vets.

As I walk into the night,
I still see the sight
When you nipped the boys
in blue,
You were stuck like glue
to them,
But my life will ne'er be right,
it's through,
Since I fell in love with you.
Since I fell in love with you. (In 4-part harmony)
