Notes About The Poem

If I Had a White Beard

IF I HAD A WHITE BEARD
(tune: If I Were a Rich Man)

If I had a white beard
Ho ho rudolph ho ho blitzen ho ho merry christmas hum
All year long, I’d merry christmas hum
If I had a fluffy beard (haa!)
I wouldn’t have to diet.
Ho ho rudolph ho ho blitzen ho ho merry christmas hum
If I had a fluffy fluffy white jingle-jangle-jingle-jangle beard

I’d gift the kids, each year with toys by the millions
Built by big hearted elves up North
They work long days with hot cocoa drinks in hand
There would be one sleigh jingle just going up
And one sleigh jangle coming down
And one more jingle jangle down the hole 
For some the coal is gift as chimney smoke clears my boots
Then the reindeer makes a sound
Honking just as merrily as they can
And each shake of the ho, be it show, be it clang, be it off
Would sound like a jingle of the bells 
As if to say, “Here lives a fluffy beard”

If I had a white beard
Ho ho rudolph ho ho blitzen ho ho merry christmas hum
All year long, I’d merry christmas hum
If I had a fluffy beard (haa!)
I wouldn’t have to diet.
Ho ho rudolph ho ho blitzen ho ho merry christmas hum
If I had a fluffy fluffy white jingle-jangle-jingle-jangle beard

I very much enjoyed these fun lyrics, Kim. Sometimes it's good to leave "serious" for a change. Next in line would be an avatar of you dressed as Father Christmas :) Regards // paul

Hohohohohohohohohoho! Who says you have to be Jewish to 'fiddle around?' A white beard works wonders! Pretty funny, Kim. ~ Season's best.
