Re: OT Blues (was Re: Oldvak - something to figure out

Reminds me of a line in a song sung by a Scottish Aussie:

"Somebody's moggie at the side of the road
"Someone's favored feline, who forgot his highway code
"Someone's pampered pussy, who ran clean out of luck
"When he ran onto the road and tried to argue with a truck!"

Chorus:
"He's nobody's moggie,
"Just flat and squashed and soggy,
"He's nobody's moggie,
"Now!"

"Yesterday he was happy, in his pussy paradise,
"Decapitating tweety-birds, and masticatig mice.
"Now he just six pounds of raw minced meat,
"That don't smell very nice."

Chorus

"All you who love your pussies, be sure to keep them in,
"Don't let them argue with a truck, the truck is bound to win,
"And out on the road side, don't let them play or frolic,
"Cause if you do, I'm warning you, it could be cat-astrophic!"

Chorus

I think the singer's name is Bogle, Eric Bogle, but can't quite remember when
or where.  Any help would be gratefully received.

Mau e ki, "He aha te mea nui?"
You ask, "What is the most important thing?"
Maku e ki, "He tangata, he tangata, he tangata."
I reply, "It is people, it is people, it is people."
