Playing with Rick
Melly has been singing a little song lately and I thought I would share it with you.
Gari’s Song
Sung to the tune of Stewball (was a racehorse)
Oh Gari is a capybara, and I know he is mine,
But he doesn’t love me, he wants Rick all the time.
I feed him the freshest corn and lettuce and chard.
I go out with scissors and cut grass from the yard!
I give him his scratches, I feed him his treats.
I take him out swimming, let him chew on the sheets.
But Rick is his favorite. Oh, what can I say?
Is it just wishful thinking, to believe he’ll love me one day?
Oh Gari is a capybara, and I know he is mine,
But he doesn’t love me, he wants Rick all the time!
What can I say? A capybara cannot control his own heart! I suppose I should try to be nicer to Melly. I’ll make that my New Year’s resolution! But, you know, most New Year’s resolutions don’t last until February, and that’s only two weeks away.
