_Hi ho, the rattlin’ drive,_ _The drive down in the valley-o_ _Hi ho, the rattlin’ drive,_ _The drive down in the valley-o_ _Now in the drive, there was a car,_ _A rare car, a rattlin’ car_ _The car in the drive,_ _And the drive down in the valley-o_ _And in that car, there was a seat_ _A rear seat, a rattlin’ seat,_ _Seat in the car and the car in the drive_ _And the drive down in the valley-o_ _And on that seat, there was a box,_ _A rare box, a rattlin’ box,_ _Box on the seat, and the seat in the car and the car in the drive_ _And the drive down in the valley-o_ _And in that box, there was a cat,_ _A rare cat, a rattlin’ cat_ _Cat in the box and the box on the seat and the seat in the car and the car in the drive,_ _And the drive down in the valley-o_ _And on that cat, there was an ear,_ _A rare ear, a rattlin’ ear_ _Ear on the cat and the cat in the box and the box on the seat and the seat in the car and the car in the drive_ _And the drive down in the valley-o_ _And on that ear, there was a flea,_ _A rare flea, a rattlin’ flea_ _Flea on the ear and the ear on the cat and the cat in the box and the box on the seat and the seat in the car and the car in the drive_ _And the drive down in the valley-o_ [Note: This entry is based on “The Rattlin’ Bog,” one of my favourite “spoon tunes.” It’s a traditional Irish “foolery song,” and is fun to play spoons to, as it speeds up the more things are added, just to fit them all in. I’ve managed to make it to the end a few times, with a few bands, but not all. My hands take a beating, no matter who I play with. But when I saw the cat in the box and the box on the seat and the seat in the car, I couldn’t resist building upon that, using “The Rattlin’ Bog” as a model.] ---

@Spoons takes it. Besides being Irish, that was an excellent song. @Dr.Winston_OBoogie in second both because I’m a C&H fan(who isn’t?) and because it so closely paralleled my initial reaction when I first saw the picture. Though mine involved a man petting a kitten and a spell being broken. ---
