A Hotter than Hell Southern Hemisphere Xmas

Where Santa keeps cool by the pool & wet devotion to the Ocean Poetic Pussycat Tale

The Southern Hemisphere Xmas Season — is different our side of the equator

As its summer here down under — where Santa needs a refrigerator

In contrast to the northern hemisphere — where Santa needs lots more clothes

As he snuggles up to the reindeer — including that one with the red nose

But south of there — he lets out his hair — and that furry white beard as well

Santa puts on his swimming costume — and takes a dip in the ocean swell

That’s after he dumps those presents — at the base of an old gum tree

And if we are lucky and have been good — there are gifts for you and me

Yes, our Xmas time down under — we need to keep things cool

So we slip off our clothes — take a dive in the sea — or at home if we have a pool

Where people usually gorge themselves — until they are nearly dead

And thereafter roll around like piglets — lying in their bed

As we pussycats are not pigs — we lie around like a furry feline

And we enjoy eating all the leftover scraps — that adds to our lives of nine

But actually for us pussycats — our furry skin bags get terribly hot

So we scramble for that spinning fan — that blows air around a lot

But New Years Eve is terrifying — especially the fireworks at midnight

It’s the time when the dogs and cats hide — to avoid the bangs that fright

That frighten our living daylights — and the nightlights that go off with a bang

Its under the bed, where it’s safer instead — its where we would rather hang

It’s the time of year — when people cheer — we wish you a happy new year!

Where they drink copious amounts of alcohol — that’s champagne and lots more beer

But we small cats are not like that — we just sit under the moon — hey dude

Where we thank the universe and mother nature — with love and gratitude

MeoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooW for now

Until next time
