New Song

[catsittingstill]

Okay, I have a new song that people might like. Here are the lyrics


Peace in the Crockpot
Lyrics and melody by Catherine Faber

The mimmoths were cleaning the crockpot
They scrubbed the entire shebang
I think that they thought it a joke that meant naught,
But these were the words that they sang.

Visualise peace in the crockpot
And peace in the crockpot will grow
And peace will spread out from the crockpot
To everywhere dinner will go.

I think that all humans are family--
It seems like a shame we should fight.
It sounds good to me, so I'll go and buy peas
There'll be peas in the crockpot tonight!

I mean to unlimber my crockpot
Like the peas-maker I am.
There'll be peas in the pot, staying burbling hot,
With some slices of honey cured ham.

Won't you come over for dinner?
Bring us whatever you care
Turnips, barley or rice, baby carrots are nice
And of course any peas you can spare!

The plate scrapings go in the compost
Unmarked in the evening's mirth
As they give up the ghost into mulch, we can boast,
In the words of the toast, "Peas on earth!"

Heh. I've got a crockpot in my stuff somewhere, but we need to get a bigger one anyway....

Damn, girl, you made me chuckle...and now you're making me hungry! Good thing it's almost lunchtime. Well done! Look forward to hearing you sing it at GAFilk if not sooner.

These mimmoths are getting silly. Silly I tell you.

At least you didn't tell us to visualize whirled peas.

I look forward to hearing the melody.

I don't know if you've seen the bumper snicker out here or not (I doubt you'd see it back East):

VISUALIZE WHIRLED PEAS

(Those mimmoths are just into *everything*, aren't they? :)
