Sleighbells Skewed

Sleighbells ring, he ain’t list’nen
frozen toes, they is glist’nen
Nick has got him a fright
on a damn frigid night
all because of orn’ry reindeer Dan

Gone away are the kind words
Here to stay are profane slurs
Nick ain’t very happy
His night started crappy
all because of orn’ry reindeer Dan

In the meadow Danny spied a fairy
Danny Boy done swung the sleigh around
Santa Claus so fat with face so hairy
got planted on his ass upon the ground

Reindeer Dan sure gets distracted
Santa Clause sure is impacted
by the plight of his sleigh
he’s filled with dismay
all because of orn’ry reindeer Dan

Later on he’ll conspire
as he recalls what transpired
He’ll post a want ad
for a someone less bad 
to take the place of orn’ry reindeer Dan

But Danny boy is still a singing
even though his ears are ringing
from the words which he heard
he’s the scourge of the herd
the A D H D, orn’ry reindeer Dan

I hadn't realized the song, "Winter Wonderland," is basically a group of lim'riks so it was easy for my silly brain to twist it around. Glad you got some chucklers. Huggerdoodles ~ j
