"Christmas in Verse: Part Three"

Episode LXXXII December 24th, 2010

Well, folks, it’s that time of year
That all anticipate
The time to grin from ear to ear
From Mali to Kuwait

Christmas season brings its joy
And fills up all the Earth
All so every girl and boy
Can learn about the birth

Yet, once again, we’ve missed the point
We’ve hit a mental block
I must accept this due appoint
To be the one to mock

Santas, santas everywhere
Yet not all are in sync
When Mall Santa has blonde hair
The kids are left to think…

Mariah Carey, zippeth thus
It pains for me to say
All I want for this Christmas
Is for you to go away

What in heaven is a yule?
And why does it have a tide?
Christmas leaves me quite the fool
But at least I have my pride

Christmas movies are the best
But I’d much rather enjoy
If Charlie Brown went on a quest
To the land of misfit toys

It’s all in jest, I doth attest
But it comes with intent
If in our zest, we forget the rest
Well, that we should prevent

Christmas exists for just one cause
And for it we should praise
As much as I love Santa Claus
It’s all about this phrase:

A woman birthed a child so small
While casting off her frights
So we might sing Merry Christmas to All
And to all a jubilant night
