Slapping them down is such fun

Santa endures the deft tongue

Spoofing the jolly red one

Such is the season of Santa assassination

R-eal love that opens the day
I-s truly good to one's heart;
S-tarting the morn with joy
S-urely won't let one fall
A-part.
B-egin the dawn with love,
O-ctober twenty-fifth day;
R-ise from deep slumber,
C-herish not the blue or gray.
E-liminate the darkest night,
L-ight is shining up above;
I-t's another fresh feeling,
S-tart the day with real love.
R-ise of the morning sun
O-pens the break of day;
S-tarting to shine in the sky,
E-vening chill fades away.
I-n third of December morn,
M-idnight moon is gone;
P-ouring rain disappears,
R-ays are shared by dawn.
O-ne beacon begins to bring
S-hower of warmth to your heart;
O-utside the lane is blue, off to a good start.
R-eaffirm your sacred oath,
E-arnestly make a promise;
S-aturday December thirtieth,
A-llow not your ship to go amiss.
L-ove inside your heart
I-s coupled with solid faith;
E-ven though the race is long, you want to reach the heaven's gate.
S-tarting to complete the journey
I-s leading you to the finish line;
D-on't let your pledge be broken,
L-et it instead be done so fine.
A-im to renew your solemn vow,
C-hoose to keep your boat afloat;
A-s you humbly reaffirm
N-othing but your oath.
M-arch fourteenth Tuesday
A-ims to warm your heart;
R-ise of the sun begins,
J-ust let the shadows depart.
I-t's a beautiful morn,
S-tarting to meet the dawn;
I-nclement clime turns fine,
D-usk is brought to oblivion.
R-aindrops have vanished into the dark, gray, and blue;
O-pen your heart and mind to the nicest thing to do.
K-iss the chill goodbye,
R-aindrops Tuesday depart;
I-t's a beautiful beacon,
S-tarting to warm your heart.
K-ind weather March fourteenth
A-ims to meet the dawn;
Y-our birthday has come,
E-vening shadows are gone.
Y-ou have taken your seat,
A-lone to have your meal done;
N-obody bothers your mind,
T-his is a table for
O-ne.
L-et your birth bring brightness,
U-sing the light of the day;
I-t's the dawn that has broken,
S-tarting to take the night
A-way.
M-ake your birth bring brightness,
A-ugust twenty-eighth morn;
N-o time for dark to stay,
A-s the beacon won't get worn.
L-et the big celebration replace the moment of mess;
O-pen the window for sunshine, let your birth bring brightness.
D-eep darkness and clouds
A-re gone into the night;
I-mportant event begins,
S-tarting early in
Y-our sight.
M-idnight moon and haze
A-re nowhere to be seen;
R-ainful evening has ended,
C-rimson day will now begin.
I-nstant change of the wind shifts from cold chill to warm weather;
A-ir fresh from morning breeze brings dewdrop to the flower.
D-aisy in white and yellow yearns to enjoy the moment,
E-ventful occasion as it is, she wants to wear a beautiful garment.
C-elebrate your birthday
A-s the dawn has broken;
S-eventh month of the year,
T-en plus one makes eleven.
R-ight here in my hand, I am holding in your view;
O-ne simple but sweet souvenir, a fresh flower for you.
M-ake your mind open
E-very moment of the day;
L-et it welcome the mirth
I-n throwing woes away.
S-o make your mind open,
S-tarting from the break of dawn;
A-llow it to think of thrill as the worries will be gone.
N-ever let your mind close,
O-therwise it won't be clear;
R-emembering the truth,
T-urning not a deaf
E-ar.
T-ry to make your mind open
O-ctober third early morn;
N-ight so blue will fade,
G-leams will not get worn.
O-pen your mind to peace for the world is in chaos;
L-et it ponder the message that sounds loud echoes.
Y-earn to seek satisfaction
A-nd ecstasy in heaven;
N-ever forget to ask God
T-o make your mind
O-pen.
