This is my entry for Sally Apokedak’s Christmas Carol Writing Contest
Tune: Jolly Old St. Nicholas
Jolly Ms. sweet Apokedak,
Lean your ear this way;
Don’t you want a manuscript
to brighten up your day?
A miracle is coming soon;
Now you dear, wo-man, (This line would sound better if you WERE a man!)
Whisper what I need to do;
Tell me if you can.
I’m writing rhyme on napkins,
and I don’t give a “bleep!”
I’m fully caffeinated
because I never sleep.
My ending words that rhyme,
will glisten like the snow.
The three or more syllables;
Beguiling and apropos.
Angie wants an agent;
Angela wants a deal;
Ang wants a picture book,
Alliteration, “Squeeeeal!”
As for me, my groveling
looks desperate at best.
PLEASE CHOOSE MINE, (uhem) dear Sally Claus,
Or…what you think is best.
