The Holland Tonnel

The Holland Tunnel’s gussied up. Its holiday display Made some commuters angry And they finally had their say. Two wreaths were boldly planted On the “O” and on the “U,” So “Holland Tonnel’s” what appeared To people driving through. A Christmas tree was mounted, too, On top of Holland’s “N.” The “A” would be a better match, The critics voiced again. The ones in charge arranged a vote; Results were tallied fast, The decorations switched around From the opinions cast. The tree was moved, one wreath is gone; There’s now a happy aura, Which would be perfect if they had Included a menorah!* *symbol of Chanukah, a Jewish holiday celebrated at this time of year
