-Rumpleteazer- has nothing at all to do with my or anyone else's @ss. Rumpleteazer is one of my favorite characters in the musical "Cats", by Andrew Lloyd Webber. In my opinion, she's the more mischievous of the duo, MungoJerrie and RumpleTeazer. That's why I choose this as my nic. I like to think I'm a bit mischievous and I imagine I'm somewhat of a troublemaker, but it's all in good fun. Most of my friends know this and put up with me anyway. For that, I am most grateful! I just figure... "what the hell, ya only live once, might as well enjoy it!"
So Let's Be Pals! And I'll try my best to brighten your day :o)

were a notorious couple of cats
as knock about clowns, quick change comedians,
tight rope walkers and acrobats
they had an extensive reputation
they made their home in Victoria Grove
that was merely their center of operation
for they were incurable given to rove
if the area window was found ajar
and the basement looked like a field of war
if a tile or two came loose on the roof
which presently ceased to be waterproof
if the drawers were pulled out from the bedroom chest
and you couldn't find one of your winter vest
or after supper one of the girls
suddenly missed her Wolworth pearls
then the family would say
it's that horrible cat
it was MungoJerrie or Rumpleteazer
and most of the time they left it at that
MungoJerrie and Rumpleteazer
had an unusual gift of the gab
they were highly efficient cat burglars as well
and remarkably smart at a smash and grab
they made their home in Victoria Grove
they had no regular occupation
they were plausible fellows who like to engage
a friendly policeman in conversation
when the family assembled for Sunday diner
their minds made up that they wouldn't get thinner
on Argentine joint, potatoes and greens
then the cook would appear from behind the scenes
and say in a voice that was broken with sorrow
I'm afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow
the joint has gone from the oven like that
then the family would say
its that horrible cat!
it was MungoJerrie or Rumpleteazer
and most of the time, they left it at that
MungoJerrie and Rumpleteazer
had a wonderful way of working together
some of the time you would say it was luck
and some of the time you would say it was weather
they'd go through the house like a hurricane
and no sober person could take his oath
was it MungoJerrie or Rumpleteazer
or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both
and when you heard a dining room smash
or up from the pantry there came a loud crash
or down from the library came a loud ping
from a vase which was commonly said to be Ming
then the family would say
now which was which cat
it was MungoJerrie aaaaannnnnnd RumpleTeazer
and there's nothing at all to be done about that
and there's nothing at all to be done about that
