Creatures are stirring, including a mouse (actually it is a rat in the garage)
Though Laurie is nestled all snug in her bed (with cute Christmas linens)
She can't get the pesky rat out of her head.
She is learning about traps and how to place the cheese (or peanutbutter)
Laurie would sure love to get him, as you can see!
We had a good year
With some travel abroad
Mark was gone frequently to Ireland, London and Prague
(It was France but Prague rhymed better)
We stayed with my cousins
To Egypt we flew
When we got off the plane we exclaimed, "Peeuw!"
(In Egypt they are burning the sugar cane fields in October, very smoky and stinky)
The smoke gave a luster to lights all around
We waited for Mohammed to take us through town
When what to our wondering eyes should appear
But minarets in the sky with the sound of good cheer
(it was the call to prayer, broadcast from speakers on all minarets five times a day)
The pyramids, the temples and tombs we did see
Coming back to my cousins in Maadi for some rest and some tea
We look forward to next year
What will be in store?
Some travel and family get togethers
Who could ask for anything more?
