C.: Well, I’m bored. The puppy is a doggy dare care, Mom and Dad are on yet another cruise, d.c. and my kittens are at work, and Tucker’s training to defend his five heavyweight cat fighting title belts. I’m taking a sabbatical from my job at work to move into Wayne Manor with Tucker, but I don’t want to do that right now. I think I’ll just chill and listen to some tunes. Maybe some music will motivate me to do something. I’ll put on my sunglasses so that no light will disturb my chill state.
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day
Ever since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't need no toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til I got blisters on my hand because
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (yes I do)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (that's right)
When I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks was so hot
I made the teacher want to dance
And that's why
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, why not?)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (I just wanna bang now)
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (I can bang that sucker)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (listen to this)
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
The boss is a jerk
And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And I pound on that drum like it was the boss's head
Because
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (bang, bang)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (I could bang that drum)
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, hey)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (but this is why I bang that drum)
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (hey, you want to take a bang at it?)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (hey, hey)
I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day (bang, bang)
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all day (I could do this all day)

C.: Well, that wasn’t helpful. I think I’ll call d.c. at work and see with he’s doing.
d.: (ring). The Kennel. Southeast Texas’ preferred prison for both animals and humans. We’re rated number one by all inmates, both present and past, for the best accommodations that can be bought with taxpayer money for criminal offenders, as well as those falsely accused who (alllegedly) didn’t get good represntation in the courtroom. This is d.c. scot, correctional nurse, author and your receptionist for the lovely, if above average heat index late summer day in the Greater Houston area. How may I direct your call today, sir, madam, or nonbinary individual (and would you mind taking a survey at the end of the call so that we may improve our service for both the inmates and their loved ones, as well as those just calling out of curiosity)?
C.: Sure! I’ll take the survey! That will occupy a few minutes of my time.
d.: Okay, sir, madam, or nonbinary individual. Were you completely satisfied with how you were addressed, and did you get all your needs met on this particular day, or any other day you may have called us to talke to a loved one, friend, or enemy?
C.: I can talk to one of my enemies?
d.: Yes, sir, madam or nonbinary individual. You may address any inmate in The Kennel, as long as that inmate doesn’t refuse the call. How may I direct your call today?
C.: Let me talk to one of my kittens, d.c.
d.: Which one?
C.: It doesn’t matter. Just put the one closest to the phone on the line.
d.: Well, the distance between each of your kittens in relation to the land line on which I’m now speaking is, within a couple of centimeters, exactly the same, so you’ll need to be more specific, sir, madam, or nonbinary individual.
C.: Are any of them in the break room?
d.: Sixto, T.J., and Jodie, are on their lunch break. Ralph, Benjamin, Isacaar, Joseph and Jehosphat are on their fifteen minute afternoon break. Joan, Joni, Jill, Jehosephat called in sick. So, yes, they’re all in the break room. At least, the ones who came to work today.
C.: d.c., only four of those kittens you named are mine, and T.J. shouldn’t be in the medical department, he should be guarding someone or something’s cage. He’s a guard cat. What in the cat hair is going on?
d.: I’m not at liberty to say.
C.: That’s it. I’m coming in to work tonight to see what’s going on there! I’m the supervisor of the Working (pets) Association of Kennel Operatives. I’m the head WAKO, so I need to get to the bottom of this.
d.: That will be fine, sir, madam, or nonbinary individual. (click) “Okay, T.J., Ralph, Jodie, your mom is coming to work tonight, so y’all don't need to work overtime tonight. She’s the best cage cleaner of all time!
