I stayed up late working lastnight and meant to get up early this morning, but I think my body refuses to get less than 7 hours of sleep and I completely slept right through my alarm! I don’t know *how* that happens when it’s the most annoying beeping sound. Selective hearing I guess! :p <\/p>\n

So I made myself a delicious soy latte and a bowl of Life cereal and sat down to work. And guess what? My friend Jem wrote me a poem! (note she has a *secret* blog, so I have a code name. And her blog is really really good by the way. I wish I could share it with you all cuz she’s so damn funny and her music reviews are really good! but I can’t – it’s secret!) This poem is from when she came over the other night & we had a little music swap and dinner. :)<\/p>\n

Mid-morning Ode<\/strong> <\/p>\n

W-gal, W-gal, sweet and fair,
\n
I am glad I burned you Air<\/a>.
\n
Thanks for sending me off with a spindle of tunes,
\n
I will be occupied til the end of June.<\/p>\n

I like Pedro the Lion<\/a> and Ben Kweller<\/a>,
\n
W-gal, W-gal, you are stellar!
\n
Thanks for feeding me Pizza (Supreme),
\n
W-gal, W-gal, you’re the girl of my dreams.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How awesome is that? :) I love that Jemmy.<\/p>\n

:::<\/p>\n

So then check this out! Not but 10 minutes later I get an email from Eoin (long time reader, biggest fan of kazoobie posts, and he’s Irish! who doesn’t love a nice Irishman!?) who found an old old Irish (8th century) poem online<\/a> that he’d read in school, called Pangur Bas (meaning white felix). It’s about an Irish monk who worked at home (on a manuscript) with his cat. And since it’s very much like the way I work at home with my kitty (13 centuries later), Eoin rewrote it for me & Kazoo! :)<\/p>\n

Kazoo and Willo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Willo and Fuzzy Pants her cat,
\n
‘Tis a like task they are at:
\n
Hunting mice is his delight,
\n
Fixing websites she sits all night. <\/p>\n

Better far than praise of men
\n
‘Tis to sit in screen-lit den;
\n
Kazoo bears her no ill-will,
\n
He too plies his simple skill. <\/p>\n

‘Tis a merry sight to see
\n
At their tasks how glad they be,
\n
When at home they sit and find
\n
Entertainment to their mind. <\/p>\n

Oftentimes a (toy) mouse will stray
\n
In the hero Kazoobie’s way;
\n
Oftentimes Willo’s keen thought set
\n
Will add a new page to the Net. <\/p>\n

‘Gainst the toy Kazoo sets his eye
\n
Full and fierce and sharp and sly!
\n
‘Gainst the web of knowledge try
\n
willo her flashy wisdom ply!<\/p>\n

When, to play, Willo leaves her den,
\n
O how glad is Kazoobie then!
\n
And Willo’s gladness never sags
\n
She always finds those errant tags.<\/p>\n

So in peace their tasks they ply,
\n
Willo and her cat, Kazoo-bye;
\n
In their arts they find their bliss,
\n
She has hers and he has his. <\/p>\n

Practice every day has made
\n
Kazoo perfect in his trade;
\n
Willo gets wisdom day and night
\n
Turning darkness into light.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How fun!! These 2 things made my day! Thank you J & E! xoxo <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
