CATCHING THE SUN, TOO

The first meerkat stood in the sun,
Another joined him there,
No other work that must be done,
No other chore to share...
And so began the brand new day,
Just watching clouds roll by,
Sometimes they'd simply melt away,
No longer in the sky...

The meerkats wondered where they'd gone,
How could they disappear?
How come they didn't carry on?
Oh, dear! Oh, dear! Oh, dear!
And yet that comes to all of us!
Yes, even meerkats, too!
And what's the point to make a fuss?
There's not much we can do!

Thank God for life that's been allowed
While you're still in your prime!
Don't wander lonely as a cloud,
Make friends while there's still time!
So take the hint and live life well,
You'll see God's got a plan,
If you want life to turn out swell,
Then help your fellow man!

COMPARE THE MEERKAT!

Of all the meerkats that I've seen,
The laziest of all,
Was one who woke up not quite keen
And he was known as Paul...
While others woke up with a smile
And grinned from ear-to-ear,
That Paul would always stretch a while
Before he would appear...

While that first hour soon passed by,
The others went above
And though they saw that birds could fly,
They thought their gifts enough...
But Paul would merely squint and stare,
For him, things looked the same...
Ho-hum, he said, without a care,
No extra joy to claim...

The young ones scampered left and right,
Jumped over rocks and such,
While keeping parents still in sight,
Because they cared so much...
But Paul was lonesome as could be,
No girlfriend yet at all...
Dear God, please end his misery,
Grant Paul a miracle!
