Caroling Carl

Every Christmas season the carolers delight by singing Christmas songs at the beginning of night Joyful and fun to each house they go folks would sing along as the happiness echos cheers and treats household shared for the carolers were beloved dear. He was tall handsome and charming his voice velvet smooth and disarming everyone desired to hear his solos of course we're speaking of young Joe Joe For Carl was short and chubby his voice even sounded stubby high notes became a screech singing was out of his reach But Caroling Carl would not go this season he was the first to enroll the others tried kindly to nudge him out but Carl thought they were jealous louts His singing lead to despair his voice no one wanted to hear word spread and the carolers were feared for with Carl the people disappeared Doors remained shut curtains closed lights went out as the carolers posed the songs of Christmas went dim for folks in houses hid within Caroling Carl could not understand why on this holiday people went grim the others wanted to shout Carl please get out This could not go on fooling Carl they all played along giving him the wrong route their singing could regain it's clout But Carl knew it was an innocent mistake soon enough he discovered their escape he even sang louder than before as folks with earplugs hid indoors Before the Christmas singing was gone they had to make even Carl belong convincing him to sing so soft and low and behind him sang the handsome Joe Joe Caroling Carl sang so low and grew with acclaim his soft singing brought Joe Joe hidden fame for if his voice they could not hear the more for Carl folks cheered This was the best Christmas caroling season by far as the young Joe Joe was the true singing star and it was all owed to Caroling Carl's so soft voice for folks enjoyed not hearing it the most.
