For Christmas, this Christmas
We ask for no thing
No bell ringing whizbangs
No jing a ling ling
We know you love shopping and
Thinking of us
But our extra possessions
Could fill a small bus
Contribute instead to our fun fund
It’s festive
We’d like to escape to the woods
When we’re restive
Or maybe some Amtrak
so we can go train-ing
Since we get real soggy whilst
camping when raining
Or how bout a beach house
this summer at the shore
Save your pennies and join us
It’s funner with more
Or charities we like that are
Thoroughly vetted
Or how bout a goat in the third world
That’s petted?
The boys do love toys and
We think that’s still fun
But us parents are stuff-stuffed
Before advent’s begun
