"Remembered Ones"

Do you know what has become
of a little great soul called Mitch?
Those were good times in Texas
up to where the sight could reach...
The stories about this Meerkat
were countless like the stars,
the roads and plains he traveled
like rivers, long and wide.

A great Meerkat soul called Mitch.

It's said beyond the river
that he saw a golden star,
and he took her for a flower
that would blossom only at nights;
but when it suddenly started to rain
that star became so bright,
that all the flowers of the land
woke up just like at dawn.

A great Meerkat soul called Mitch.

We can't tell Texas stories
if we don't talk about Cows...
But even then we'll mention him
and how much he was involved.
Because if any hunter
tried to catch one of the herd,
he always sent his alarm call
and all the Cows were safe.

A great Meerkat soul called Mitch.

He hadn't in all the desert
just one place to call his own...
If he decided to settle here
or there, it soon was done.
And the Horses running wildly
always knew if he was there,
and then slowed down their march at once,
or found another way.

A great Meerkat soul called Mitch.

The bad guys buried treasures
could be deep below the ground,
but when he did the dig and scratch
the gems were always found...
And it was sure for treasure hunters
to get gold in desert nights,
so they would always follow
the trace he left behind.

A great Meerkat soul called Mitch.

Well, I know still more stories
that I should tell in this song,
but that will take at least a week
if you want to hear them all...
For now, it should be enough to know
of how he cleaned his land
of Rattlers, Snakes and Vipers
well clutched in one hand.

A great Meerkat soul called Mitch.


Here, the song that inspired me is no other than that old cowboy song called "Ghost riders in the sky".

This must have been the way

for Flower and Zaphod

to meet each other...

And be happy ever after!!!

"Very Special - New Place For Meerkats"

Visitors Flock to New Meerkat Village

LONDON, Jan. 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The UK's love of meerkats has been demonstrated once again with online visitors flocking to a new digital meerkat village, meerkovo.com. After just a few days of going live, the new site -which showcases comparethemeerkat.com founder Aleksandr Orlov's home town of Meerkovo- is already attracting tens of thousands of visitors daily. This follows the success of Aleksandr's autobiography, A Simples Life, which became a Sunday Times bestseller.

Aleksandr's army of UK fans (he has over 3/4 million friends on Facebook and over 40,000 followers on Twitter) are visiting meerkovo.com for the chance to step inside the home of the nation's best loved Meerkat. Visitors to the new and exciting website are able to meet new Meerkats, explore the village and enter buildings including the local Queasy Mongoose Pub, Yakov's toy shop, and Aleksandr's mansion.

From today, those entering the site will be able to challenge other Meerkat aficionados in the Queasy Mongoose Pub quiz, and stay up-to-date with all the latest Meerkovo news via the local paper, the Meerkovian. Over time, new games, Meerkats and interactive features will be added to meerkovo.com

Aleksandr Orlov said: "I have Sergei working seven days a week to build new website. It is called meerkovo.com. Here peoples can explore my local village Meerkovo and meet many villagers from old to young. In this way peoples can understand our plight and finally learn differences".

The website is part of new advertising campaign, which premiered on 1st January. In it the entrepreneurial Meerkat and founder of comparethemeerkat.com has turned documentary-maker to introduce us to the village of Meerkovo. The villagers are suffering as a result of people in the UK confusing his site with comparethemarket.com when looking for cheap car insurance quotes.

"Castle In The Desert"

Zaphod, in one

of his latest pictures...

That's how I want him to die when his day had come...

Like a baby, so sweetly;

And stay there as if standing proud. Like the King he still is.

But what can be the King dreaming in that picture?

Well, what else, but himself flying on a Golden Scorpion?

"Very Special - Khristmas"

Meerkats... They're the new

and brightest stars during Christmas!!!

They almost seem to have been born

to celebrate this date, or remind us to do it.

First, they save their best songs for that day...

Then they wait for the Three Meerkat Kings...

And, of course, they're ready to say thanks,
like a very little prayer in their hearts!

"Widest Dreams"

Being also, of course, Youssarian's birthday,

I had to make this new entry

dedicated only for him.

In an endless quest,
Youssarian left his world behind.
Under sun or rain,
to find a place and be the King.
Youssarian, you must know
that some Kings can rule from afar.
And though you walk long miles
there's no place as big as your heart.

Your horizon grew,
before your eyes, beyond your steps.
But, still you went on
with restless soul and tired feet.
Youssarian, you must know
that miles are much smaller than life.
And though you were crowned by the Sun
you'd have wasted long years.

In your endless quest,
there should have been a resting place.
In dark nights or days,
there's just one place where you can live.


And again, as I like to do, I used the music of a song which would go very well with Youssarian and all what he was:

"Castle In The Desert"

For the King who reached his eleventh year

in the hard and so dangerous Kalahari.

Happy Birthday, Great King!!!
