Yulewocky

This is a parody of Lewis Carroll's Jabberwocky.


'Twas Christmas, and the Santa Claus
did jangle and jingle his bell;
all heaven-minded was his cause,
and weather cold as hell.

"Beware the chilliness, my son,
the frosts that bite, the colds that catch;
beware the scrooginess, and shun
the grinch's present-snatch."

He took an icicle in hand.
Long time St. Nicolaus he sought;
then rested he by the Christmas tree
and paced awhile in thought.

And as in greedy thought his pace,
St. Nicolaus with eyes of joy
came flying through the fireplace
and held a Christmas toy.

One, two! One, two! And through and through
he rifled through Nicholas' sack;
and he did lift another's gift
and would not give it back.

"And hast thou stole another's gift?
Come to my whip, my thieving lad;
O Christmas day! Calloo! Callay!
How could you be so bad?"

'Twas Christmas, and the Santa Claus
did jangle and jingle his bell;
all heaven-minded was his cause,
and weather cold as hell.
