A Day In The Life Of An Animal

I was asked to create a tale about an animal....

A Day In The Life Of An Animal

I woke late this morning, my head was thick,

Dr Teeth was yawning, gold sparkles and sick!,

Oh, Floyd was still snoring, some chick on his arm

She looked like Miss Piggy, fresh from the farm

Big Bird came-a-knocking, is it he or a she?

I couldn’t be doing, I just needed a pee,

Waldorf and Statler, just burst in though the door,

Bah, I hated that party ! - Gee, I wanted it more !

Kermit stirred groggy, and bleary eyed, “Hey guys,” he said. “Show starts at two!”

“Fat chance of that!” scoffed Doctor Honey-dew

I'll try my new joke,said Fozzie bear, “Knock Knock, at the door”

“S**t” Rizzo growled nasty, “Answer it and you're sore“

Now, Gonzo was sober, he tried not to drink,

But Beaker had spiked him, that dude could not blink,

I started a drum roll, Rawlf tinkled the keys

A crescendo in b flat was just what they needs

Now if you like puppets, that ain't got no strings,

Then you love the Muppet’s, they dance and they sings,

But after a party still drunk and abused, things ain't so clear,

Mahna Mahna, is all you are likely to hear.

Mahan Mahna …..

Author's Note

Read it with a Blues singer in your head, and for effect sing out Derr, der der der der, between the half sentences.
