That's great, it starts with an earthquake
Birds and snakes, and aeroplanes
And Lenny Bruce is not afraid
Eye of a hurricane, listen to yourself churn
World serves its own needs
Don't mis-serve your own needs
Speed it up a notch, speed, grunt, no, strength
The ladder starts to clatter
With a fear of height, down, height
Wire in a fire, represent the seven games
And a government for hire and a combat site
Left her, wasn't coming in a hurry
With the Furies breathing down your neck
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped
Look at that low plane, fine, then
Uh oh, overflow, population, common group
But it'll do, save yourself, serve yourself
World serves its own needs, listen to your heart bleed
Tell me with the Rapture and the reverent in the right, right
You vitriolic, patriotic, slam fight, bright light
Feeling pretty psyched
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine
Six o'clock, T.V. hour, don't get caught in foreign tower
Slash and burn, return, listen to yourself churn
Lock him in uniform, book burning, bloodletting
Every motive escalate, automotive incinerate
Light a candle, light a motive, step down, step down
Watch your heel crush, crush, uh oh
This means no fear, cavalier, renegade and steering clear
A tournament, a tournament, a tournament of lies
Offer me solutions, offer me alternatives and I decline
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
I feel fine (I feel fine)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
The other night I drifted nice continental drift divide
Mountains sit in a line, Leonard Bernstein
Leonid Brezhnev, Lenny Bruce and Lester Bangs
Birthday party, cheesecake, jellybean, boom
You symbiotic, patriotic, slam but neck, right, right
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it (time I had some time alone)
It's the end of the world as we know it and I feel fine (time I had some time alone)

It’s the End of the World as We Know It (and I Feel Fine) lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group
C.: Oh, woe is me.
d.: What’s the matter, my fine feline friend?
C.: I didn’t get the job of Financial Investigative Director of the Organization. It’s the end of the world for me!
d.: Cheer up, Cal.E. Just because you didn’t get the FIDO job that you applied for doesn’t make it the end of the world.
C.: Why not? I mean, my husband’s a meowionnaire, and I feel like a failure beside his accomplishments.
d.: And how did he come into so much money, Cal.E.? Did Tucker Tucker Two inherit a fortune from Tucker Tucker One, or his owner?
C.: Hardly. Tucker’s dad was a ne’er do well who didn’t hunt, and his owner barely fed him. Tucker thinks that may be why he gained so much weight as a young cat. He didn’t get enough to eat as a kitten, so he ate as much as he could when he started his life at his foster home. He was afraid of starving to death if he ever left that home.
d.: But, then he put that weight to good use and became the five-time heavyweight cat fighting champion of the world.
C.: But he also teamed up with Tom the Tabby and extorted money from weaker cats. He and Tom demanded that they give them all of the weaker cats’ kibble, or Tucker would sit on them. That almost always worked!
d.: Yes, but then Tucker went to obedience school and earned an undergraduate degree, and then went to graduate school. And, I understand that, when he graduated from ME. U. with his Doctorate of Playing and Hiding, he set up a scholarship fund for underprivileged cats to go to obedience school if they couldn’t afford it. He decided to do good with his ill-gotten gains.
I’m really surprised that Tucker had any money left after having to post bail at The Kennel so many times. He was sentenced to spend time in The Kennel so many times that the warden decided to retire his number!
C.: Yes, but he used his time in The Kennel to study. He can count all the way to eight now! And, he’s the best hide-and seek player of all time. He’s been playing hide and seek with you for the last three days, and you haven’t found him yet!
d.: (We were playing hide-and -seek?!) Well, that’s all the time we have for today, folks. Please join us tomorrow for another episode of Cal.E.’s Korner (now I must find Tucker).
C.: (I knew that would make him end the blog. It works every time. Now, I’ll have some quality time to spend with Tucker, if I can find him!)
