Calpundit (aka Kevin Drum), terrific left-of-center blogger and the guy who started it all, has decided to discontinue his Friday Cat Blogging feature (in which he posts cute photos of his Jasmine and Inkblot at the end the week for all to enjoy).
It’s a bandwagon I fully intended to jump upon once I took the time to figure out how to use the digital camera my best beloved gave me for Christmas. But now it’ll seem but a pale reflection of the Master if I do.
Anyway, this depressing development has inspired one of my periodic Parody Spasms. The following is in Kevin Drum’s honor and should be sung to the Who’s classic “Pictures of Lily”:
Kevin Drum, aka "Calpundit"
I used to wake up every Friday;
I used to drag my tail.
I was so sick of heading off to school–
It felt like going to jail.
I needed something to lift my flagging spirits
When they began to fall.
I’d go visit at Calpundit’s; and then I
Wouldn’t mind at all.
I wouldn’t mind at all!
Pictures of kitties made my Fridays wonderful!
Pictures of kitties made my weekends bright!
Pictures of kitties made me smile through Sunday!
Pictures of kitties helped me feel alright.
Pictures of kitties!
Sweet little kitties!
Cute frisking kitties!
Pictures of kitties!
(instead of Entwhistle’s horn)
Meow! Meow!
Meow! Meow!
Meow! Meow!
Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!
And then one day things weren’t quite so bright–
The kitties appeared no more.
I asked him why no cats were on his blog
He said, “It’s become a chore.”
“I’ve been blogging kitties for a year
And now I need a rest.
My stash of kitty pix have bottomed out,
And so it’s for the best.”
Pictures of kitties made my Fridays wonderful!
Pictures of kitties made my weekends bright!
Inkblot and Jasmine are together in my dreams,
And now I ask you, “Mister, have you ever seen
Pictures of kitties?”
