Rollin' in green at nine

I'm Irish, but not Catholic
So saints' days are odd to me
But I will be diplomatic
So some Irish songs it'll be

écoute et répète 84

Listen and repeat.

Replace your smoke detector batteries at nine

The pendulum swings back this week
What's found will soon be lost
Grand efforts to keep candles cheap
With only one hour's cost.

écoute et répète 83

Listen and repeat.

Spin cycle at nine

Washing is a sacred act.
And daily ablutions
Help fight disease, a proven fact!
Our finest institution
Even our clothes are kept well clean
We wash all of those little bits
At least until the poor machine
Gives up the ghost/goes on the fritz

Wear extra socks at nine

The end of February, I know
I should expect the cold and ice
We had some rain but nary snow
Which isn't much, but still is nice.

écoute et répète 82

Listen and repeat.
