Moonlight Fiesta

When you're away no mice will play

No cats prowl round

Through halls and on stairs

No dogs bay at moons

No sounds do they dare

Not a scratch, not a mew
Is uttered without you.

So, come back, bring your voice
Rise up with the hoards
The animals abound
The mouse, cat and hound
All wait for your step -
They listen at the door.
So come to us
Come once more
Bring the fiesta
Bring the treats
Bring the party of lights
Bring the twilight of summer
To our winter of nights
We wait now so patient
With our paws in our laps
No wags of tails
No scratching of mats
Like good little creatures
We wait for your call
For the sound of your key
The rally to the call
Then sunshine, oh sunshine
We are back in the fray
To the warmth and the laughter
We are taken away
To sing and dance in the
Of sunshine of smiles
With squeaks and cat calls
and barks of delight
We twirl and spin until
Day becomes night
Then we dance on some more
Until the first rays of sun
Cat, mouse and hound
Are undone.
To sleep where we fall
Celebration a success
With smiles in our sleep
On our furry faces we keep
Sunshine clothes us
Bathes us fresh
In our sleep.
