On Sunday I was dishing up cat food for the "starving" hordes. My mind being a virtual attic filled with useless trivia, stumbled over the old (1950's) Brylcream jingle that went:

"Brylcream, a little dab'll do ya.
Use more, only if you dare.
Brylcream, the gals'll all pursue ya.
You simply rub a little in your hair."

What struck me was that at that moment was that I was putting a "dab" of catfood into each dish. This is because the cats have always-available dry food, and they really don't need much canned food. It was then that my mind substituted the following words to the jingle:

"Cat food a little dab'll do ya.
Use more, only if you dare.
Cat food, the cats'll all pursue ya.
You simply rub a little in your hair."

Now this silly nonsense is repeating over and over in my mind, and I can't stop. HELP!
