Pilgrams Party

Attacked by some irate Indians
The Pilgrims had an arrow escape
They felt like it was time to party
Since they ended up in great shape!

Some girls asked, "Can we tan for this?"
What does our religion decree?
The answer was, to just make sure 
It's as Puritan as it can be!

William Brewsters oddly named kids
Love, Wrestling, Patience, and Fear
Danced to new music called Plymouth rock
At the Pilgrim party of the year!

Love was with the one she was with
Wrestling was spoiling for a fight
Fear cried, "What will become of us!"
Patience said, "It'll be alright!"

The Pilgrims pants kept falling down
The subject of gossip and chats
It turned out it wasn't the drinking
But that their buckles were on their hats!

Late that night they were all passed out
Without even taking a shower
Dreaming of the new ship coming in,
The one which was called the Juneflower!

Wow, love the 'Plymoth rock" and the 'Juneflower' - though I don't know how much fun a Puritan party is - do you know they outlawed Christmas!!
