Don’t want to drop one
bottom o’ ninth with 2 out
That would be awful.
That would be awful
If the in-laws can’t make it
For Christmas dinner
For Christmas dinner,
We are having leftover
Thanksgiving dinner.
Thanksgiving dinner:
ham, not turkey, and stuffing
ruined with apples.
ruined with apples
a remark you’ll never hear

Reindeer cannot fly.
Reindeer cannot fly
When that bloated elf goes on
Sugar plum binges.
Sugar plum binges?
Things go better with Coke, or
Warm milk and cookies.
