Kitty uh Nevermind Carols: Dashing Through the Mall

A good friend of mine has graciously agreed to let me post her wonderful, often hilarious and typically cat-oriented Christmas Carols. (She's a cat person, so cats often are the source of her humor and writing.)
I will be finishing up posting her carols through the rest of this week as the holiday season winds down and the time of Janus pondering approaches.
Please do not copy or use her stuff without permission. And she would love to hear any feedback about her carols. (You can send any feedback to me, if you don't have Blogger permissions to comment this blog, at cganders1@yahoo.com.)
Here's the last one! ...and thus ends the holiday season for another year on this blog.
Given the amount of post holiday shopping across the globe, this one seems appropriate to finish with...
Enjoy and hope your holiday season was phenomenal! The best is yet to come.

Dashing Through the Mall
(to “Jingle Bells”)

Dashing through the mall, as we swiftly go insane.
Through the stores we go, with our feet in pain.
Children’s screaming rings, in our ears all night.
Oh what “fun” it is to shop for Christmas gifts tonight.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the day
Hear those bells they ring and jingle all the night and day!

A gift for Mother here, and one for Father there.
Frantically we search: here, there, everywhere.
And each gift must be, the perfect thing—just right.
Oh, what “fun” it is to shop for Christmas gifts tonight.

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the day.
If those bells don’t quiet soon, I think I’ll run away!

Christmas Eve is near, but still we roam the malls.
Seeking that last gift, onward through the stalls.
Still those children scream, and still those bells they ring.
Oh, what “fun”—Help! I’ve gone deaf! I can not hear a thing!

Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the day.
Christmas shopping’s done—I hope—It’s Christmas Eve today!
