Lyr Add: Winter Wonderland (parody from dog's POV)

From: Mudlark

I wish I'd written this...



   Dog tags ring, are you listening'?

   In the lane, snow is glistening'.

   It's yellow, NOT white, I've been there tonight,

   Marking up my winter wonderland



   Smell that tree? That's my fragrance.

   It's a sign for wandering vagrants;

   "Avoid where I pee, it's MY pro-per-ty!

   Marked up as my winter wonderland."

   In the meadow dad will build a snowman,

   following the classical design.



   Then I'll lift my leg and let it go Man,

   So all the world will know that it's

      mine-mine-mine!

   Straight from me to the fence post,

   flows my natural incense boast;

   "Stay off my TURF, this small piece of earth,

   I marked it as my winter wonderland."

Yeah, Mudlark, it's great. I'd like to give proper credit to the parodist, too.

Just sang it for Rog, Mudlark. Got a good giggle or two and he's taking it to work tomorrow to share with a couple of folks, one of whom has an SO who is very involved with the local Human(e) Society. I am sure they will enjoy it.

Thanks!

Here in December green California this song is not so meaningful, but 13 years in the Ozarks, waking to the pure white blanket of new snow...only to have such innocence and purity sullied by our crew of 4-footers (and the 2-footers that were'n't hardy enough to make it to the outhouse)....well, it brought back memories....
