Tell Me About It!

There’s a lovely housemaid named Julie
Who cleans everything with patchouli
She makes the house glitter
Even the cat's litter
As has been witnessed by yours truly
 
A fellow by the name of Beatty
Captured and tamed a wapiti
The news quickly aired
When Beatty declared
That he’d ride his wapiti to Tahiti

There once was a house with no door
No one knew if it had a floor
They could not get in
Thought that was a sin
So they burned it and it is no more
 
I met a wild lady named Kate
Whom I had to domesticate
Now that she is tame
She’s indeed a fine dame
We often go out on a date
 
There once was a filly with no name
Everyone thought that was a shame
So they all got together
And gave her the name Feather
Now Feather is a filly of fame
 
There once was a dog with no bark
It was even afraid of the dark
But his owner loved him
Because on a whim
It could truly sing like a lark
 
There once was an aging old maid
Who was becoming afraid
That she’d never wed
Neither Ed, Fred nor Ted
So she got down on her knees and prayed
 
There once was a fellow named Vic
On the draw he thought he was quick
Until one day he met
A fellow named Emmet
Now Vic knows he's no quicker than a brick
 
There once was a very spoiled brat
Who pestered his mother for a cat
The mother grew tired
A tiger was hired
Now the brat is as quiet as a gnat
 
In a local tavern one night
It is said that there was a fight
Between two rowdy punks
And a couple of drunks
Morning light revealed quite a sight
