Daisy Bell

Look at this little lady. Doesn't she look perfectly angelic? Don't believe the sweet little eyes. She's lying. She's either just done something naughty/gross or she's about to. We were thrilled to find that Daisy will not in fact eat absolutely anything. She has a boundary. She doesn't eat cat hairballs. She will eat the vomit surrounding the hairball, but kindly leaves the actual disgusting hairball itself for me to clean up. Apparently on the Daisy scale, a ball of yakked hair is somehow nastier than cat poop from a litter box, any dog poop, walls, couches, socks, remotes, toys, and markers.

I frequently sing the song, "Daisy, Daisy / Give me your answer true / I'm half crazy all for the love of you". I usually customize the "Give me your answer true" part to suit the situation a little better--for example "What the hell did you do-oo". I didn't know the name of the song, though, so I googled based on the lyrics. I was interested to learn that the song title is not, "Daisy, Daisy" as I would have guessed. It's "Daisy Bell".

I was intrigued when my eye scanned the Wiki page and spotted the word, 'vegetarian'. Since I'm too lazy to summarize, so I'm just going to copy and paste the portion that I found so interesting:

"Daisy Bell" was composed by Harry Dacre in 1892. ... It is said that a real Daisy inspired the song: "Daisy" the Countess of Warwick, Frances Evelyn Maynard, one of the wealthiest and most desirable English women of the period. In her lifetime, she became a vegetarian, championed women's education, and stood as a Labour
(leftist/socialist) candidate. At one point, she was mistress of the Prince of Wales
(subsequently Edward VII of the United Kingdom, 1901–10).

What a cool woman!
