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
