Verry Merry

Well, everybody keeps telling me it’s gonna be a “merry, merry Christmas, baby”, but I’m not sure I’m feeling verry merry. You see, I put him on my Christmas list, at the top, the number one spot. But, I don’t think Santa’s gonna come through this year…‘Cause he sent me a letter, said he’d tried so hard – he’d been watching the man like a private eye. He’d come so close to catching him more than once, but he gave him the slip every time! Santa put a tracking device under his car and hooked it up to Rudolph’s nose; he didn’t think it could fail. But the boy managed to find it and toss it in the snow, throwing Father Christmas off his trail! The big man even called in Blitzen (he’s the best at stealth and known for his covert maneuvers). He had good informants and found his path, then followed it up to Vancouver! Blitzen thought he had him cornered in a restaurant, but again, he was just too slick. So, Blitzen packed up his bags, flew back to the Pole, and returned the mission to St. Nick. Well, in a last-ditch effort, Santa called on Vixen – he just knew she could do the job! He gave her a bag of clever disguises and told her to pull out all the stops. She thought she’d get him if she pretended she was Elvis…everybody knows he loves EP! She almost had him until she got confused and mixed up Priscilla with Lisa Marie!! Mr. Kringle was sorry he couldn’t give me what I wanted, but he was out of ideas. The reindeer had no clue what to do, and neither did the elves. He said he’d work around the clock if there was something else that I’d rather have. But, unfortu- nately, there’s nothing else that my Christmas can’t do without! Well, everybody keeps telling me it’s gonna be a “merry, merry Christmas, baby”, but I’m not sure I’m feeling verry merry!
