Distant and unknown 
land
She...

The cats had a rather slow day
So they went to the yard to play
All over the ground
Were nuts to be found
Before long, they had too much to weigh!

December comes with certain treats,
Music and psalm and all things sweet.


The year-end grooves to festive cheer,
As commerce moves with spending here.


There is an air of appetites,
A buying flair that trade recites.


So much to pitch for...
