Auld Lang Abigail

It doesn't have to make sense. I'm a cat, remember?

Should Abigail’s treats be forgot

e’er mom should lose her mind,

I’ll take a nibble off her leg

and scratch her big behind.

For Abigauld lang syne, my dear.

For Abigauld lang syne.

If mom forgets my treats tonight,

I’ll pay her back in kind.

--

Have a hissy, happy New Year, Vocal friends.

    What a playful, fun twist on Auld Lang Syne! Abigail sounds like she’s got her priorities straight—treats first, everything else second 😁. The little playful threats in there (nibbling legs and scratching behinds) crack me up. Love the attitude! Wishing you and Abigail a hissy, happy New Year, filled with treats and mischief!🎉
