RAINBOW THE GATEKEEPER IS VERY FLUSTERED
THERE IS A LOUD WAILING FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GATE
QUICK GET THAT BEAUTIFUL TORTIE MADAM
SHE IS NEEDED AT THE GATE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE
ON THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS
THE CALL GOES OUT FOR THE TORTIE GIRL TO COME TO THE GATE
SHE ARRIVES BREATHLESS AND CURIOUS AND HEARS THE WAILING
RAINBOW OPENS THE GATE AND A BIG BLACK AND WHITE BOY
FALLS INTO HER OPEN ARMS AND PURRS FILL THE AIR
ON THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH SHE SAYS
NOW I AM SO HAPPY TO BE WITH YOU AGAIN
ME TOO SAYS THE BLACK AND WHITE BOY WITH A GRIN
AND THE TWO CUDDLE CLOSE
ON THE DAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS
SUDDENLY TWO BLUE EYED BOYS APPEAR
AND JOIN THE CUDDLES AND THE PURRS
