the mountain goats bleated
we two discussed
just what you needed
The Birthday Bird, as usual,
was no help at all
just hot dogs on spools
and jumps from high waterfalls
The tall blue-green pets
from the Katroo pet department
well, they’re too fluffy and tall
for a Manhattan apartment
The deep sea divers, Getz and Gitz
suggested a time-telling fish
But with clock-keeping problems
of burping and napping
we re-ee-ee-eealy can’t see
a ticking fish happening
How about a gift card
from Wesley Ballou’s?
a health food boutique
in downtown Katroo…
They have cakes by the Snookers
and beer by the Trappists
And jellied green eel
in gold metal wrappers
To throw at the baby
Eighty minutes of bliss (assuming good aim)
and guaranteed Katroo safety
A pa-a-a-alm-reading session
from the gypsies in town?
On second thought,
you should turn that one down
You might get the blues
if they looked at your hand
and saw te-ee-ee-enage years
you’d have to withstand
We couldn’t bu-uy-uy you a jersey
of the Mets or the Yanks
but might spring for a tee-shirt
of the Katroo Fighting Francs
So really, we’re back
to the ho-o-o-ot dog event
a Birthday Bird favorite
with little dissent
A spe-eh-eh-cial birthday lunch
a meal, seven course (all dogs)
but with a new twist,
we’ll make it veggie - of course!
And then we'll wash Katroo mustard
with a dive in the pool
and the goats can climb rocks
and eat hot dogs off spools
Happy Birthday!!!!!
