A Tongue-In-Cheek Christmas Poem

'Twas the night before Christmas
On the village square.
Carolers were singing.
Everyone was there.

My daddy was a baritone
But his falsetto filled the air.
Mama shrunk his boxers;
They're not ready-to-wear.

He asked Santa for some new ones;
He didn't dare go bare.
So, on Christmas morning,
Santa left a spare.

Now daddy has a pair
That couldn't give a care.
He's back to singing bass
Thanks to his Duluth underwear.
