wearin' the green

Hey Peepers!  PEEPERS!  PEEPERS!

Yeah, I was talkin' to you.

MOUSES!

So anyway, Peepers, I'm not sure if you were aware of this or not, but tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day.

You know, the day celebratin' everythin' green.

MOUSES!

OF COURSE I KNOW St. Patrick's Day is about more than just wearin' green.  Which, by the way, does not apply to us cats.  Us cats - specifically Saffron and I - have no intention of wearin' anythin' green.

Not that we're opposed to wearin' green, of course.  There's nothin' wrong with wearin' green.  Nothin' wrong with it, at all.  What we're opposed to is the idea of wearin' clothes of any kind.

Us cats prefer to go nekkid, you see.

MOUSES!

But back to the business of St. Patrick's Day.

You and Peep #2 should wear somethin' green to celebrate the day.  Green sweaters.  Green pants.  Green whatever you have.  But most important of all, make sure you're wearin' SOMETHIN', okay?

Cats prefer non-nekkid peeps, you see.

MOUSES!

And besides wearin' the green, we should go all out with the green fuds and stuff.  A little grass added to our dins-dins would go over quite well.  Oh, and a sprig of catnip on the side, would be especially nice.

And along with the fuds, we need to think 'bout what we should drink.  Drinkin' is an important part of celebratin' St. Patrick's Day, you see.  Irish pubs are gonna be filled to brim.

NO, I'm not plannin' on gettin' drunk.

Gettin' NIPPED, on the other paw...

Never you mind that I get nipped every day of the year.  On St. Patrick's Day, I should be sure to get nipped, more than once.

So nip tea should be served from dawn until dusk, and...

And yes, make sure that nip tea is really good and green.

Not to mention strong.

MOUSES!

And one other thing, Peepers.  Just one other thing you should do.

Since it's a special occasion...

Since tomorrow is a special occasion, a bouquet of shamrocks should be sittin' right there in the centre of the table.  Not for eatin', of course.  Just for display.

What?  What's that, Peepers?  What's that you're babblin' on about now?

Yes, that is what you heard.  On the table.  On the dinin' room table.  Right there in the middle.  'Cause on special occasions, it's customary for us cats to eat at the table with you and Peep #2, and...

WELL IT'S CUSTOMARY NOW, OL' PEEPERS OF MINE.  So lump it or leave it.  If you two peeps don't wanna eat at the table with us, you can eat on the floor.

Just don't look at Saffron and me to help you back up.

Back up off the floor.

'Cause with peeps, gettin' down is quite easy but sometimes gettin' back up is an entirely different story, you see.

MOUSES!

Oh, and after our celebratory din-dins, we can all read 'bout the various St. Patrick's Day adventures, I've had over the years.
