The cats were all snuggled, safe in their chair,
Certain that Carolyn was off, who knows where;
Remedios no longer reclined in my lap,
But was clearly arranged for a long winter's nap.
The cats are all happy; in fact, they're feeling great
Because Indiana just beat Ohio State.
But I'll spare your more jingling rhymes like "mi casa,"
in a desperate grab to ask how goes Bahasa?
And end with a quick, happy note of good cheer,
Just in time to wish you a Happy New Year!!
