The Night Before Christmas 2017

The cats were gathered waiting to see
Where is the gatekeeper, where is the key
The Chief cat came forward in his eye was a tear
Listen closely my friends but have nothing to fear
On the night before Christmas

I have some news so you have to be brave
The gates cannot open, we have a sick slave
The poem must be read for the people to meet
So we can run free for a short while to greet
On the night before Christmas

Then all at once there was a soft gentle rustle
The smallest one stood in the hussle and bussle
He was tiny and sweet and he said my name’s Lance
I come with a key to give you a chance
On the night before Christmas

I was sent with it by a lady called Gill
She has been really quite poorly and ill
But I gave her your love and she gave me this gift
Great chief cat with your paw will you give me a lift
On the night before Christmas

So he lifted the little one and in the key went
The gates swung open wide and the magic was sent
Then cats all ran through and were united again
With their loved ones, their homes and their families and friends
On the night before Christmas

Love flowed like rivers
To takers from givers
Love lasts forever
It always delivers
On the night before Christmas

The Day Before Christmas on the Bridge (Pt 10 2016)

All the cats are sleeping under the stars and sky
Everything is peaceful with the sound of snores and purrs
The senior cat is still awake pondering the future
Last year was chaos and a repeat is not required
We must get things organised better this time
He starts to hatch a plan
The newest arrivals have still to settle its so hard at this time of year
On the day before Christmas

He calls together the Cat Committee
And says this year we must start off right
No messing about like last year lets be ready early
I will sort it out says the organizer cat
It will be back to normal with fun and games
Trees and decorations to be completed soon
The cooking cat agrees and says lets start now
On the day before Christmas

As the cats awake and have their morning food
There is excitement in the air
News is travelling all across the Bridge
Preparations for the special night will start right now
Computor cat stretches her fingers ready to send out the message
Kittens are jumping up and down what does this mean
The gatekeeper cat tells them soon our humans are coming
On the day before Christmas

Will I see my human says one of the newest girls
Oh yes she will bring you love and strokes
And you can give her a present
That will be great does it happen for all the cats
Indeed says the senior cat its an old tradition
But you must help the other cats to get things ready
And the blue-eyed brothers will show you how
On the day before Christmas

The ginger cats are plotting for another night of fun
One suggests they wear bowties
Another looks shocked and says no way!
See how good i look in my bowtie says a large fluffy ginger
But girl cats dont wear ties we would look silly
OK how about girls wearing Christmas bows
Says the senior ginger cat
On the day before Christmas

Agreement is made boys wear ties
And girls wear bows large and with patterns
A tabby strolls by and says whats going on
Nothing say the gingers who rush across the field
Tabby reports back to the others
Those gingers are up to something and we need to find out what
I think they are norty with their games
On the day before Christmas

The messages have gone from Rainbow Bridge.com
And all over cats in huddles can be seen
Oh no whats going on says the senior cat I smell fish in the air  :fish:
The tabby brigade are seriously flustered
And determined to find out the gingers secret
They send their kittens on a surveillance mission
To speak to the ginger kittens who do not know better
On the day before Christmas

Its ties and bows they say when they rush back
What do you mean asks the senior tabby cat
Thats what the gingers will be wearing
Noooo they are not showing us up we must have a plan
How about waistcoats says another tabby with a slow blink
A great idea say the tabby brigade
We can all wear different ones we will look so smart
On the day before Christmas

The rest of the cats get wind of goings on and a spy cat reports back
Gingers will wear bow ties and bows and tabbies will wear waistcoats
Oh nooooo say the other cats, what can we do?
A blue stands up and says i have an idea
The rest of us can wear hats and a gasp goes round
A tortie stands up and says yes and there are so many different hats
I mean there are lady hats and man hats, snow hats and sun hats
Now everyone is listening
On the day before Christmas

The search is on for hats, all hats, any hats
Top hats, bowlers, flat caps, crowns are they hats?
Trilbys, lady hats with flowers and feathers, beeds and things
So many hats in many styles and colours
Cowboy hats, berets says a French cat
Military hats and some so strange they have no name
Enough hats for all of us says a white cat
On the day before Christmas

The Cat Commitee silently move from group to group
And report back to the senior cat
They say its OK the cats are planning their clothes
WOT! says the senior cat cant their fur suits be enough
I think we should join the fun say the commitee cats
It will be a great sight and surprise the humans
And the senior cat sighs with  agreement
On the day before Christmas

While all this is going on the organizer cat has started work
She has groups of cats working on food, decorations, parcels and trees
Things are looking and smelling great
One of the blue-eyed boys has gone with his glamorous friend
To welcome the newest arrivals to the Bridge
He knows its always hard at this time of year but they will settle fast
They all walk back to get some special food to fill their tummys
On the day before Christmas

The night has come and the moon and stars light the mass of cats
Excitement is building as the clock counts down
Rainbow the gatekeeper cat walks towards the gate
Slowly the the pathes on both sides are getting  brighter
He can see the cats in all their special clothes
And the humans all waiting in expectation
Its always the same before the opening time
On the day before Christmas

The Rainbow Bridge opens its gates
And a gasp goes up from the human side
Mobiles start flashing to record the amazing sight
Of cats in bowties, bows, waistcoats and hats
The cats and humans rush towards each other and presents are exchanged
Tears and purrs all mingle on this special night
The cats take off their special clothes and give them to their humans
A forever memory of this years meeting
On the day before Christmas.

The Day Before Christmas on the Bridge (Pt 9 2015)

Ding dong merrily on high Ding dong merrily on high Ding dong merrily on high
Come on choir sing together please
Problems catmaster? said the senior cat with a grin
Thought it was quite jolly myself  :evillaugh:
If only they could get in tune and sing together!
I am sure by the time the Bridge opens its gate
They will be purrrrrrrfectly meowing in harmony
On the day before Christmas

My goodness what a noise said the head cook cat   :notlisten:
I think I need some furballs for my ears
We agree said the blue eyed boys
Surely the senior cat will not allow them to serenade our guests
I dont know cos he seems to think its quite fun
I will give them ding dong says a ginger cat
Me too said tabby one eye.
On the day before Christmas

Oh dear things are not going well this year says one of the twin cats
Usually everything is so organized
The trees havent been delivered yet and only a short time to go
I heard the weather  forecast and it wasnt good
Clouds, no moon, we wont be able to see the stars what are we to do?
It will be alright on the night said the senior cat
So dont get all mopey and sad
On the day before Christmas

Hark the herald cats sing, meeeeeeeeeeeow meeeeeeeeeeeowFollowing the star amongst the sheep
Thats it I resign said the catmaster!
Who needs a choir of cats anyway.
No dont go catmaster we are trying so hard
Please dont go say a bunch of soprano kittens
We need you says a bass cat without you we are lost
The catmaster mutters, you are already in the wilderness
On the day before Christmas

The senior cat takes the catmaster to one side
Come on tails up we need the choir and they will sound so good
With whiskers washed and bow ties on they will also be very smart
This will be good for the Bridge cats, loads of spirit and togetherness
The catmaster reluctently agrees OK I will try
But if they get one more cat amongst the sheep
I am leaving to live on desert island Bridge     :sneakin:   
On the day before Christmas

Over the hill come an army of cats carrying trees
Big trees little trees and giant trees needing many cats to carry one
The decorator cats are waiting patiently with boxes of things with kittens in!
Feathers and streamers are being turned into chaos
Balls are being tipped out and chased
Boxes are being turned into play castles and scratchers
Kittens behave says the senior cat with a bit of despair in his voice   
On the day before Christmas

It is just chaos say the Bridge commitee but why this year?
We will have to cancel the opening of the gate
Nooooooooooooooooooo we cant do that say all the cats
We need to meet our meowmys even for a short time
All their presents are wrapped and ready
They will be so disappointed if the gate doesnt open
Tears are starting to fall
On the day before Christmas

Call in the organizer cat immediately says the senior cat
She will sort it out and then we will be OK
The calico tortie walks smartly to the front and takes control
I appoint the following cats to take charge of each job
They will arrange their staff from all the other cats
Every cat must help and any with no jobs report to me
At last the cats know this will work
On the day before Christmas

Senior cat senior cat please come here quick
How can I help you gatekeeper cat?
Look who has just arrived I found her by the gate
She is so small and very hungry and needs a mama cat
The organizer cat comes over and says I will be her mama
She looks just like my kitten and I will get her settled
She will be looked after and loved forever
On the day before Christmas

The cats on the Bridge swing into action
Trees, tables, food, presents are all being sorted
Come my kitten I will introduce you to the other little ones
They will show you what to do and the cooking cat will give you food
The kitten looked at all the friendly cats and felt warm inside
She knew this was her forever home and where she belonged
Her new mama cat cuddled her close and she could not help but purr
On the day before Christmas

The sky is growing dark and the moon slides out from behind the clouds
Stars appear like magic twinkling far and wide
The choir gathers by the gate and look great in their bowties          :play:
And the catmaster is feeling proud because he knows  they are ready
The new mama cat gives a present to her kitten as a gift for her meowmy
I will show you the way when the gate opens so do not be scared
There is great excitement building  among all the cats on the Bridge
On the day before Christmas



The  gatekeeper cat walks along the path with his key
Silent night, silent night sing the choir in purrrrrfect harmony
The moon lights the path and on both sides of the gate movement begins
As the key is turned the path is revealed totally full on both sides
Meowmys and cats swarm across the gate holding out hands and paws
Gifts are exchanged strokes are given, purrs turn into roars
Happy tears are shed and once more on the Bridge there is total love
On the day before Christmas

The Day Before Christmas - on the Bridge (Part Eight 2014)


Hulp hulp hulp I am trying to get the invitations out  :pcprob: :pcprob:
Why does it always play up when I am running late?
I mean this is as big as Santa delivering presents
And I have no knomes only stacks of silly kittens!
Take a deep breath said the senior cat and just relax
It will all be OK, you know it will
On the day before Christmas

OK here we go, come to the Bridge on 24 December
Cats want to meet their humans, make it a night to remember
Strokes, fluffy head butts, kisses and paw holding
It will be just purrrrrrrfect from Catsondabridge.rbb
Phewwwwww all gone now except for those that come back undelivered
What is a cat supposed to do with those, sigh
On the day before Christmas

There is a queue of cats who arrived on the Bridge recently
Who want to send a message to their meowmys
One of the blue eyed brothers is teaching them how to send a rainbow
Some take a while to aquire the skills
Others are just so quick
But all will try very hard to tell their meowmys they are safe
On the day before Christmas

The cooking cat has lined up all the kittens to test taste
They are so excited they are all over the place meeping
When some goodies are brought out meeping becomes a stampede
A ginger cat boldly steps infront of the mass of fur and claws
And gently guides the kittens into lines
The silence is deafening, just munch munch munch
On the day before Christmas

The senior cat looks on with a grin on his face   :catlove:
Just think I was like that once!
A big welcome to all the new cats and kittens
This is a special time of year for everyone
The one night when the Bridge opens its gates for a short time
And you will all meet your meowmys again
On the day before Christmas

Time is moving on, many rainbows sent but still so much to do
We will organize by colours this year says the senior cat
Black, black and white and white dress the trees
Gingers,torties and blues put food on the tables
Not sure I trust that group, always some norty torties
Who have I missed oh yes the sensible tabby brigade
On the day before Christmas

Tabbies to the front please, you will fill in all the gaps
We must hurry to get everything done before the sky goes dark
The senior cat stands on the hill and surveys the scene
So beautiful and so happy he feels, its just purrrrfect
All the cats and kittens are starting to form a line
Each with something special for their meowmys
On the day before Christmas

They all watch as the first star and the moon appear
On the other side of the Bridge they can see so many
Nervous purrs, mews and meeps can be heard
Nearly time and the light shines on the gates of the Bridge
The path becomes clear, there are millions of them whispers a kitten
And the gates open for the happiest meeting of the year
On the day before Christmas
