Do You Know What Today Is?

Today

On Day Six

Anita Marie Asks…

Do you know what today is?

Before I tell you let me tell you about my day.

Today it snowed.

I baked.

I played with my cats and wondered if

I was stranded in my car on the side of the road in this snow storm

would I care about what I wanted for Christmas?

If the power went out like it did last year, and it went back on across the street two days before the power was restored on my side of the street and I had to sit in my dark house and watch the Christmas Lights on my neighbors house go on in the evening and cast little rays of  happy  lights on their  plastic Christmas yard ornaments would getting a Monkey Fish seem like something I would be thinking about?

That I should be thinking about?

You bet I would-and I DID- because I think it’s those wild dreams that give us the strength to deal with the world when things get absolutely unbearable.

I’ve made it my mission in life to see those dreams of mine come true…

and sometimes they do

and when they do it is always so worth the effort it took to keep them alive.

Now here’s the answer to the question.

Today

What I Want For Christmas Pt 1

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don’t want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don’t think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won’t have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that’s the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

(Short Music Interlude)

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian

(Short Music Interlude)

There’s lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I’d feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles or rhinoceroseses
I only like hippopotamuseses
And hippopotamuses like me too!
