The Concentration Song

The Concentration Song


Christmas contest, change a song
think I'll try, I can't go wrong.

Got two lines but it won't last
concentration's going fast.

Barking dogs, phone rings and rings.
If it don't stop I'll break that thing.

Gee, oh wouldn't it be great
if I could only concentrate!





Inspired by John Heck's 
Crazy Christmas Carols contest
Sung to The Chipmunks Christmas Song

This is so cute! lol i love the chipmonks! And, as far as contests go...that is NOT true (below) as the contest hosts CANNOT see the names of the poets who enter poems, the names are hidden until the contest is judged, so it is totally on the poems merit alone! Good luck! Kristin

flows nice, never payed attention to the contest thing, since mostly the winners have the same people commenting them and why its always the same folks on the charts.
