the cat vomit tango!
11:20 PM
I have been immortalized in song.
Several months ago, I posted on Facebook that I had stepped in cat vomit (luckily, in my socks). Ian Doescher (now Ian Doescher Ph.D. of Portland Songs fame) remarked, "Sounds like a song..."
I hoped that it might be true and then realized it was a bit too random and ridiculous for a whole tune.
And then as a bolt out of the blue, Ladies and Gentlemen, from the Bard of Portland, I present to you The Cat Vomit Tango!
The Cat Vomit Tango
by Ian Doescher
(Commemorating the time I stepped in cat vomit)
I am a ballroom dancer
more graceful than Vixon or Prancer
my feet artful dodgers
like Astaire or like Rogers
to everyone’s desire
I have the answer
But last night my cat did a hack-up
her Friskies oh they come right back-up
the floor was a mess
but with my great finesse
I was sure there was no need to crack-up
My feet up I raise
when my floor’s a maze
with bits of dried catfish and mango
a musical phrase
puts me in a daze
it must be the Cat Vomit Tango!
The Cat Vomit Tango!
The contents of my kitty’s belly
I planned to tap past like Gene Kelly
but my feet they blew it
they stepped right into it
and now I am nothing but smelly
My feet up I raise
when my floor’s a maze
with bits of dried catfish and mango
a beautiful phrase
puts me in a daze
It must be the Cat Vomit Tango!
I’m Christopher Naze
the one that you praise
when you see me do the fandango
but I’m in a haze
could be hours or days
just stuck in the Cat Vomit Tango
The Cat Vomit Tango!
