For Miranda Hawleys Christmas or Summer song parody contest.

The aim was to turn a Christmas song into a summer song.  I chose Frosty the snowman.

Sandy the Sandman. Was a super duper dude. With a surfboard pack and a seashell nose and two eyes made out of food. Sandy the Sandman. Would always love to play. He was made of sand, but the lifeguards know how he came to life one day. There must have been some magic in those swimming trunks they found, for when they placed them on his legs he began to swim around. Oh, Sandy, the Sandman. Swam so far out in the sea and the lifeguards say he would swim all day, further than you and I can see. Swishy, swoosh, splash, swishy, swoosh, splash Look at Sandy's zest! Swishy, swoosh, splash, swishy, swoosh, splash He's simply the best! Oh, Sandy the Sandman. Knew the sun won't shine all day, so he said, "Let's surf, and we'll have some fun before the moon comes back to stay." Wave upon wave with a surfboard in his hand. Surfin' high and low against ripples fast and slow Sayin', "Catch me if you can" Even the fishies decided to surf along, till he led them too close to the shore, right to the lifeguard's hut, where he fell off his board when he heard them holler "Stop!" Hmm, Sandy the Sandman Fishies can't lie on the beach! So he waved them bye, sayin' "See you at sunrise when the sun looks like a peach." Swishy, swoosh, splash, swishy, swoosh, splash Look at Sandy's zest! Swishy, swoosh, splash, swishy, swoosh, splash He's simply the best!

Haha. Very bodacious poem. Very good for a children's book. Hint Not a good idea to do a children's book about his cousin in the White House. ' 'Stocracy the blowman"

The 8 is a smiley face wearing shades and of course, poems like that don't arrive without graft :) (no shades now, it's dark outside)

This is absolutely adorable Silent One! Children would appreciate it tremendously. While my skills in crafting humorous renditions of songs may be limited, your performance was truly remarkable. It has a lovely melody and flows exceptionally well!

Awww cute. Kids would love it. I've done parodies in the past, mostly humorous. I think one was called, "I'm dreaming of a new face lift." Have a great weekend SO
