Paean To Cleigh by Micca
(Tune: Because All Men Are Brothers)
Micca's Comments: Inspired by this thread (BS: For Catspaw and others: possums)
and waiting for a sterilizer to do its job . . .
My brothers are all possums forever and a day
These little furry creatures have stole my heart away
I pine for Cleigh O'Possum tho' he is made of clay
And he's my joy unbroken until my dying day
As fur or ocarina my heart is turned to Cleigh
that possums is my soul mate and I with him must stay
and all the fame and glory Is his and his alone
And I would emulate him tho' my ass is unblown
He is a mudcat icon tho' small and shy and good
and even being with catspaw has not changed him to rude
his fame goes out before him we all would wish him well
and blessings on you barbara for casting this great spell
My brothers are all possums forever and a day
These little furry creatures have stole my heart away
I pine for Cleigh O'Possum, tho' he is made of clay
And he's my joy unbroken until my dying day
