An Ode to Youssarian
Oh Youssarian, Oh Youssarian
you poor little guy
you got carried off by a hawk
and fell from the sky
You survived this terrible fall
though you landed on your head
boy! that was a close call
A scar was left above your eye
but oh our little Yousssarian
we are so glad you didn't die
As your poor brains were rattled
you probably saw stars
and felt you had been
in a great battled
You eventually would recover
with your mama's good care
and grew to become
a great lover
You met a beautiful meerkat named Flower
your heart began to beat
with great power
That night as you snuggled with her
you knew without a doubt
that you loved this pretty Flower
But oh one day came another
to what to your amazement
it was your own brother
Zaphod stood high as a cloud
he wanted your Flower
in whom you were so proud
He took her away
the love of your life
and left you dismay
Oh Youssarrian he stole your sweetie
how could this happen?
How can this be
Your heart was so sad
when Zaphod took Flower
it took you awhile
to forgive your own brother
Soon Flower and Zaphod
had pups of their own
and you were one of the babysitters
until they were grown
While out foraging for food
you saw a beautiful meerkat
who just might be right for you
As you looked at her with your eyes
how you longed
to be closed to her side
Her old mate was dead
she needed another
to keep her warm in bed
But try as you might
to get close to her
it didn't work out right
For her son JD
would be right in your way
and would chase you off each day
One day you thought something wasn't right
as you made a burrow move
and alas one of Mozart pup's died that night
Oh Youssarrian don't you know
how we cry and we cry
when one of those little darlins die
You messed up another day
while babysitting those dears
and left our eyes filled with tears
They were left cold and scared
as a storm came up
with lightening that raised their hair
But all was well when Flower came
and soothed our tears
and took away our fears
Another time you would rather forget
when one of your charges ran off
that you shouldn't have let
Blossom a pretty little girl
ran into the brush
and left your head in a whirl
You looked and you looked
oh where could she be
you felt you were going berserk
You took a chance and left the others
and went to find her
and brought her back safe to her mother
You looked so sweet cuddling Blossom
seeing her snuggled up to you
was really awesome
That night as you crawled in the sack
giving a sigh of relief
but wishing Shakespeare was there
to rub your poor aching back
Oh Youssarrian, Youssarrian
you sweet little thing
the one who makes
our hearts want to sing
We love you dear one
inspite of your problems
we hope you find love soon
and have a meerkat called Blossom
An Ode to Blossom
Oh Blossom, Oh Blossom
dear little one
your life ended too soon
it had only begun
We didn't get
to know you too well
what your life would be
now we can't tell
From your uncle
you wonder away
at first he didn't realize
you had gone astray
He looked and he looked
wondering where you had gone
his search went
on and on
He finally found you
where you roamed
and brought you safely
to your home
with your Uncle Youssarrian
you cuddled
it was sweet
as with him you huddled
That night as you slept
with your family adorned
you were kept
happy and warm
Another day came
when again you wondered away
your family didn't know
you had gone astray
How the tears filled our eyes
as we who loved you
cried and cried
We wanted Mitch to find you
or another of your family at least
before you were carried off
by that awful beast
Alas you are gone
and your family
has gone on
We will never for get
your sweet face
oh we long
for an embrace
Take our love
rest in peace
our little precious dove
An Ode to Daisy
Oh Daisy, Oh Daisy
you little sweetie pie
your presence
catches my eye
You seem kinda timid
and kinda shy
you feed Flower's babies
the milk you supply
You're a good meerkat
my love
you're as lovely
as a dove
We felt so bad when Mozart
kicked you out
we know you wondered
what that was all about
We were so glad
you got back in
For Flower is dominant
in the end
We hope that the rest of your days
are pretty and bright
and may you always be
right in our sight
We love you sweetheart
remember this we plea
for this is true
you see
