The Lost Grinch Carols - Christmas Parody
This selection of Christmas carols, in themselves, has little value as songs or poems. Their importance lies chiefly as a historical footnote, as some scholars believe they may have been works written by history’s most famous Yuletide grouch, that green-tinged gentleman, the Grinch. Perhaps, also, they may serve as a cautionary tale; to

Halloween Carols
Halloween carols ring growth and gore,
setting off those shivers on repeat;
They end with a scream forevermore;
Enough to make your skull hit the floor,
dressed as a slasher all nice and neat;
Halloween carols ring growth and gore;
Echoing even through a closed door,
their chorus a loud hum down the street;
They end with a scream forevermore;
Nature’s masquerade you can’t

No Christmas Carols
Lots would say that Norman was hard to please.
Although you could always please him with cheese.
Every Christmas song,
He thought was wrong.
To stop you singing, he would sing along.

It Must Be Christmas Eve
The sky is well-lighted with bright stars
The streets are littered with shiny cars
The motorists are playing Xmas carols
The children are excited ‘cause Mr. Claus
Papa Noel is coming in person tonight
To bring toys to boys who did not fight
This year and gifts to girls and gals
Who have been good all year long
Let's sing along, let's sing

December, the Coolest Month
December is the coolest month
Or the coldest month in some countries
Bring the toys, bring the candies
Grab a jacket, grab a coat and wear pajamas
At night. Stay away from the labyrinth
Get a Christmas tree to decorate
December is the jolliest month of the year
This is the winter month to go from fête to fête
Ride, ride the carousels
Ring,

A Shot of Christmas
What? she cried, the Christmas tree you forgot?
Worn-out excuse--you bought a whiskey shot!
Forgot my glasses, see
then really had to pee
But I sang carols

The Magic of Christmas
"Christmas lives in our hearts; sometimes we have to search a little,
but it's there."... by poet
I'll always remember pine Christmas trees
scenting the air, along with plum pudding;
and the lights, soft color-etched memories
family, candlelight, carols to sing.
This year, no lads and ladies will gather,
Christmas will be with friends and memories.
But a year ago, we were

Snowflakes
Snowflakes falling to land
of the caroling,
whiten the coats of man,
as they're traveling,
from door to door singing how Christmastime began

Just Before Christmas, This
I went out back
And sat
On a stone bench
To watch the sun set
Just before 5:00 on Winter Solstice
The cold stung the skin of my Levis
Then fit the back of my ass and legs
Like a saddle of numb
There’s no frost line in the ground
So my dog’s paws were dark as leather gloves
His golden face and pink tongue
Speckled

Sing We Now of Christmas
Sing We Now of Christmas
Sing we now of Christmas the faithful come – angels sing -
Drummer boy on bended knee before the winter rose now blooming;
Sing we now of Christmas with masters of the hall –
God rest ye merry gentlemen and herald angels all;
Sing we now of Christmas in silent little Bethlehem town
Wondering what child

Christmas Carols Parade
Come one, come all, come let us hear the band,
For soon we'll hear some famous songs all planned,
December brings a Winter Wonderland.
The Twelve Days of Christmas are all at hand.
For soon we'll hear some famous songs all planned,
Rudolph the red nose reindeer in demand,
The Twelve Days of Christmas are all at hand.
Little Drummer Boy knows

Waking Up To Christmas Carols
Waking up to Christmas Carols,
The strings, pianos and trumpets play,
"Mary's born child", "It's Christmas time",
But where be the festive times?
In a world full of trouble, endless wars,
With the unknown forces of hell,
May this season, though not be the best,
Be the most blessed Christmas ever.
