OH, CON ALL THE FAITHFUL
(Christopher Hershey)
Oh, con all the faithful, appeal to their religion
Buy a plastic manger scene and set it up in the front yard
Twelve lifelike figures set the tone
In lifelike painted styrofoam
Provided with appropriate tape-recorded bible verses
Oh how we do abhor it, wherever shall we store it?
But we paid plenty for it, besides, it's the biggest on the block
Oh, con all the faithful, appeal to their tradition
Send Christmas cards to everyone you've known for the last twenty
years
And God forbid if you are missed
By someone who is on your list
It's not the thought that counts but just the thought of counting
them
Don't friends deserve much better? So why not send a letter?
The rest you can forget, sir, it's only wasting trees
