"I Walk The Line"
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I find it very, very easy to be true
I find myself alone when each day is through
Yes, I'll admit that I'm a fool for you
Because you're mine, I walk the line
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I've known proves that it's right
Because you're mine, I walk the line
You've got a way to keep me on your side
You give me cause for love that I can't hide
For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide
Because you're mine, I walk the line
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line

d.: Hey, Cal.E., what are you doing?
C.: I’m looking at a list of political candidates–
d.: Don’t you see enough criminals at work?
C.: Very funny, d.c. No, I’m looking at a list of candidates for the position of “Animal Royalty.” It looks like Buddy Bones isn’t my only competition for that office.
d.: Who else threw their “hat in the ring”?
C.: Lots of animals. There’s Danny the Donkey, Eli the Elephant, Sammy the Squirrel, Arvid the Armadillo, and Priscilla the Gorilla.
d.: That sounds like a lot of competition for a brand new office. How did the other animals hear about it?
C.: I suppose it's my fault. I started campaigning, telling the other animals how I would go on the straight and narrow, and be an “honest politician if elected–”
d.: Now that’s an oxymoron if I ever heard one.
C.: Are you saying I’m a moron who is ignorant about many things, d.c.?!
d.: No, Cal.E. An oxymoron is a direct contradiction in terms, like jumbo shrimp, or the complete abridged edition of a large book.
C.: Oh, well, that’s okay. Most of my opponents don’t have their platforms developed yet, so I’ll be ready for the election before any of them, except Buddy Bones. I’ll need to reveal how vile a creature he is by telling his deepest darkest secrets to beat him for the office–
d.: Be careful, Cal.E. You don’t want to get into a ‘“mud-slinging” campaign. I would just stick to the issues and tell your constituents how you plan to improve the world.
C.: So, I should tell them about the one-ply toilet paper band–
d.: How many animals, besides you, Tom, and y’alls kittens even use toilet paper?
C.: Idk, d.c. I’m not originally from this planet. I do know that all cats love catnip–
d.: But catnip is not illegal anywhere on this planet!
C.: True, but is it free?
d.: To cats, yes. Most of the time, the cats’ humans buy it for them, along with cat toys to play with. Sometimes humans buy cat toys dipped in catnip,
C.: Then I will decree that it be made illegal, and then legalize it. I’ll be a hero!
d.: IDK, Cal.E. I think that you’ve been listening to too many human politicians. Maybe just tell your constituents that you’ll be fair and try to make the best decisions you can for all concerned–
C.: And especially for me and those who supported me while I was running for office!
d.: You need to watch more political debates. The candidates never actually say that, even though that is what they mean most of the time. Why don’t you go and rewrite your campaign speech while I wrap up today’s blog?
That’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of CAl.E.’s Corner.
