Queen's diary

May 25, 2009

Well, not much to report as such since my last entry.

I guess the biggest event was the arrival of my new boy toy, Max, several weeks ago. He is a great toy though I do have to share him with several of my other brothers and sisters, which is good as he does have the tendency to wear us all out. I mean he is a furry bundle of pure energy!

Zoe had the lump removed from her left front leg which proved to be a low grade type of cancer. She is doing fine and though she is SUPPOSED to be taking it easy because of the stitches, she hasn't slowed down a bit! The stitches are to be removed on Thursday.

The only other thing that happened was a couple of weeks ago when I caught and killed a water moccasin. Dad found me with it in the drive way and took it away though :=( There are more out there for me to get .... I know this because dad has gotten three himself ..... so I'm sure I will find another to play with or maybe have a tug-of-war with one of the other kids just like Rustie, Lexie and Abby did several years ago.

Well, let me go now, got to protect the yard from the snakes and then dig in the pile some more!

A Lot to Drink About
Written by: Jimmy Buffett
Performed by: Jimmy Buffett


Up on the East side of Manhattan,
They’re still dancing with the stars.
While over in sub prime city,
It’s getting angry in the local bars
Watching the news only gives me the blues
There’s too much going wrong.
It takes the likes of me to hit the reboot key
and write a high speed drinking song.

Millionaires losing everything.
Hey, welcome to the other side of life!
There goes the yacht, there goes the Rolls,
But, you get to keep your wife!
And don’t forget the automakers
swimming up stream like a trout.
They let the shi* hit the fan
and then they made a plan
We’ve got a lot to drink about.

It’s the price of oil,
the war of the spoils.
Where’s your bucket for the big bailout?
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We’ve got a lot to drink about.

Now, Madoff made off with all the money.
Now his clients are down to skunk weed.
Repeat after me, it’s so easy to see
We’re only talking simple greed.
And those Somalian pirates are counting all the gold.
While Bush and Cheney ain’t around
and all the good lookers seem to be Czech hookers
from Key West to London town.

It’s the price of oil,
the war of the spoils.
Where’s your bucket for the big bailout?
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We’ve got a lot to drink about.

So pour me some Tennessee whiskey,
pour me a fine Jamaican rum.
That loud mouth soup
gets me kind of looped
Tequila, of course I’ll have some!

Now the family devalues
and little children count their net worth
and the truth wherever it’s hiding,
can be found on Google Earth.
Citibank’s buying jets with our money.
I wanna flog ‘em with a buggy whip.
I hope Obama and Joe won’t let the volcano blow
and patch the hole in our sinking ship.

It’s the price of oil,
the war of the spoils.
Here’s your bucket for the big bailout?
Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan,
We’ve got a lot to drink about.

Recession, Depression, the question good God
CNN keeps bumming me out.
I can’t take another doomsday moment.
We got a lot to drink, a lot to think,
a lot to drink about.
