Christmas
Lying in a darkened room; clutching at her breast;
She thought that when she come in there; she might get some rest.
Emanating perspiration; from her shoulders and her neck;
Cloths all thrown about the floor; and the blankets are a wreck.
Thinking in her mind; can't you hurry up;
My eggnog's spiked and ready; and sitting in a cup.
Ho-ho Merry Christmas; now get your hand off of my boob;
Isn't there a football game; plying on the tube.
Sitting in his favorite chair; paper there in hand;
Over in the dinning room; the Misses makes her plans.
She shows to him a catalog; of things that she might like;
And don't forget our johnny boy; says he wants a bike.
Thinking in his mind; how about you get a job;
And maybe lose a pound or two; you're looking like the blob.
Time to light the furnace; winter now is here;
But never mind the extra cost; Christmas time is near.
I saw this fellow Santa Clause; working at the store;
I bet his little misses; keeps demanding more.
Ho-ho Merry Christmas; a blessing to us all;
A well rehearsed distraction; until the tax man calls.
