Christmas Cats

In December 2009 I sat on Santa's knee,And I asked for a leopard as well as two lions in a tree.I assured him that I'd been a very good girl,It would be a fine way to end a year that flew by in a whirl.Christmas eve he delivered a tree with two lions lounging within,What a magical way for Christmas to begin.Now Santa for the leopard, it's a simple request,For Christmas in Ishasha you should bring out the best.But Santa's got a dark side, he likes to have a bit of fun,So he sent us six hours stuck in a bog in the sun.We were covered in mud, hungry, thirsty and tired,This was a pretty strange Christmas, I could have broken down and cried.Then suddenly in the distance there was a cat in a tree,Stop! Back up! There's a lion up there, cried Nathalie.But no lion exists with such a curl in his tail,This was a Christmas leopard, I knew Santa wouldn't fail.The next thirty minutes were spent in the leopard's company,It was a magical Christmas for the wild and the free.So thank you to Santa and every large predatory cat,I'd like a cheetah in 2010 if you can arrange that
