The Christmas Watchdog
Tonight's my first night as a watchdog,
And here it is Christmas Eve.
The children are sleeping all cozy upstairs,
While I'm guarding the stockin's and tree.
What's that now - footsteps on the rooftop?
Could it be a cat or a mouse?
Who's this down the chimney?
A thief with a beard,
And a big sack for robbin' the house?
I'm barkin', I'm growlin', I'm bitin' his butt.
He howls and jumps back in his sleigh.
I scare his strange horses, they leap in the air,
I've frightened the whole bunch away.
Now the house is all peaceful and quiet again,
The stockin's are safe as can be.
Won't the kiddies be glad when they wake up tomorrow,
And see how I've guarded the tree?!

Just as too little calcium during growth can be harmful, so can excessive amounts. The most common cause of excess calcium is supplementation of an already complete and balanced diet with high calcium foods or mineral supplements. Excess calcium can produce deficits in other nutrients and can cause potentially serious health disorders.
