A Merry Meezer Catmess 

'Twas the night before Catmess and all thru the house,     
Not a creature was stirring, not even mouse.
The kittens were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of catnip toys danced in their heads.
 
All Meezers, you know, believe Christmas is made.
Precisely for Siamese games to be played.

They've labeled it Catmess for humans to learn.
How Siamese cats reputations they earn.

It started out quiet, the household was sleeping,
The talkers were silent, not even a peeping.
The glistening moon on the snow did shine down,
And all was so peaceful in our little town.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
When Yummy decided to fly thru the air.
She fell in headfirst after leaping the stairs,
Her tail all puffed up with a big cloud of hairs.

The yowling arose from the depths of the stocking.
To non-Meezer cats, it was really quite shocking.
To the rescue came running her big Coonhound friends,
And they pulled her straight out by the ends of her ends.

Then Piper decided to check out the tree,
There were shiny, so shiny, decorations you see.
Well he poked and he prodded and bang they fell down,
Dashing hopes he’d get away without making a sound.

But the shiniest ornaments plopped onto the floor,
With a push from a paw, they just rolled towards the door.
The Coonhounds were wooing their warnings galore,
But the Meezers just whacked at those balls all the more.

Next Decker, you know what a bad boy he is;
Decided the tree was the place for a whiz. 
What he didn’t quite realize is the lights were plugged in,
And the tree stand he peed on was made out of tin.

The sparks that transpired were really quite pretty.

The only big problem - they ignited a kitty.

Poor Tabitha's tail was aflame as it sparked.

If she hadn't run screaming, the dogs wouldn't have barked.

At least with her flaming and running so fast,
Her tail was extinquished, she calmed down at last.
Poor Decker felt bad he had caused such a stir.
He curled up real quiet and started to purr.
                                                       

Soon Frosty decided to check out the gifts, 
So under the tree he just sniffs and he sniffs,
When soon he discovered how fun were the bows.
They pop off the packages and stick to your toes.

Of course here comes Suki to help with the chore,
And soon all the bows were detached on the floor.
Then Smokey got mad and he got off the couch, 
You guys are in trouble, he proceeded to grouch.

We’ll never be adopted if you make such a fuss, 
Folks like quiet kitties, not ones that make muss.
We all need new families and hopefully this year,
We’ll all be adopted and never more fear.

A noise on the snow attracted attention,
A clanking and banging; did I fail to mention,
That sometimes on Catmess our wishes come true,
For all of the Meezers, for me and for you.

Rescued Meezers came running from near and from far,
For all of them knew adopters come in a car.
And the goal of each kitty was to have a new home, 
To never be hungry or hide or to roam.

Won’t you please consider just opening your heart?
You’ll never be sorry, not even a part.
A snuggly Siamese is such a great gift.
For yourself and the cat, so do be quite swift.

Complete an application and send it right in,
We’ll check all your references and then will begin.
To match the right Meezer to fit both your needs, 
So cats won’t be homeless, the noblest of deeds.

You’ll have all the fun of a Siamese pal,
We have all the choices, a guy or a gal.
The loyalest, kindest and wonderful Meezer,
Will give you his love and be such a pleaser.

So bask in the glow of this holiday season,
Remember the giving; you don’t need a reason.
The Meezers of Metro are wishing all right, 
Merry Catmess to all.....
