MOUSES!


"MOUSES!"


"MOUSES!"


"MOUSES!"


I know, I know...  I know what you're thinkin'.  You're thinkin' somethin' has really got my goat, this mornin'.


If I had a goat, that is, but I, Seville the Cat, don't have a goat.  Truth be told, I, Seville the Cat, don't wanna have a goat, either.  Word on the street is that goats'll eat just about anythin' and the fact of the matter is, I, Seville the Cat, don't want any goats gettin' into and eatin' my nip.


"MOUSES!"


But the thing is, goat or no goat, I'm not the one yellin' mouses.


MOUSES!


Well, not ALL the yellin' of mouses, that is.


"MOUSES!"


And it's not Saffy Saffron Sassifras yellin' mouses, either.  In fact, neither of us cats are yellin' mouses.  IN FACT, it's not a cat yellin' mouses, at all!


Nope, it's a peep.  A peep named Peepers, to be exact.


"I know this pattern leaflet came as a free gift with the magazine, BUT WOULD IT KILL THEM to have someone go through the pattern, checking for errors, BEFORE printing it up?  Would it?  MOUSES!"


Boy-oh-boy my friends, I've been listenin' to her yellin' mouses this and mouses that all mornin' long.  To tell you the truth, I'm gettin' pretty sick and tired of hearin' this kinda foul language comin' from ol' Peepers' mouth.  Who does she think she is, A CAT?


And what's more, what's a few mistakes in a knittin' pattern here and there?  Just means she has to stop every now and then and work stuff out with pen and paper, herself, instead of relyin' on the pattern tellin' her what to do.  And sure, occasionally she has to go back to redo somethin' or whatever.  But I thought the woman LIKED knittin'.  That's what she says.  She's always claimed that.  Havin' to redo a few things here and there means gettin' to do more knittin', doesn't it?


Well DOESN'T it, my friends?


"MOUSES!"


And there she goes again.


MOUSES!


That time was me.


"MOUSES!"

  4. Well, your Peep does enjoy knitting, right? So why would she be upset that she gets to do more of it? So confusing. MOUSES!

  7. Just think how bad it would be if Peepers was knitting chain mail! Why, you'd have cursing and swearing as well as clanking clinking and banging at the anvil to contennd with not to mention all those little dropped metal stitches all over the floor! Mouses!
    Toodle pips and purrs.
