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
