Ebenezer Caesar (The Misunderstood Freezer Meister)
By: Lisping Hibiscus
12/7/05

Ebenezer Caesar,
O, he was quite the caviler,
a burnt offering of mistletoe malaise,
hunts down with a Sharpie marker,
advice from Craig & Jane Hamilton-Parker,
and Anna David columns by the page.
The only Christmas tree he has trimmed,
is one made up of cocktail shrimp,
built from Styrofoam blocks and toothpicks.
To his ears, Ave Maria sounds like logorrhea,
is there a panacea to such preconceived ideas,
what can thaw his heart to Christmas bliss?

O, Ebenezer Caesar,
lives in a fort built from a Frigidaire upright freezer,
If you were his next-door neighbor,
you'd rather spend the holidays with an eyebrow tweezer.
He's as gelid as Stouffer's frozen lasagna,
but deep down I believe he's as sweet as Lebkuchen,
baked by your grandma,
O, meet Ebenezer Caesar,
the misunderstood freezer meister.

Well they say, "When you give to others,
you yourself are blessed."
It's the greatest win-win proposition,
so c'mon, and haul along,
that leftover half moon bay pumpkin bread!
And I know something that tastes just as good served cold,
how about some of my Aunt Polly's sweet potato casserole,
that'll make a whale of a wassail!
Holy Goldilocks,
all this fuzziness is melting your icebox soapbox,
he has a falsetto that slids like an icepick kiss.
Just give him just five minutes longer to deliquesce,
And in no time he'll do the Frankincense Arabesque,
darting like Donner through every province.

O, Ebenezer Caesar,
lives in a fort built from a Frigidaire upright freezer,
If you were his next-door neighbor,
you'd rather spend the holidays with an eyebrow tweezer.
He's as gelid as Stouffer's frozen lasagna,
but deep down I believe he's as sweet as Lebkuchen,
baked by your grandma,
O, meet Ebenezer Caesar,
the misunderstood freezer meister.

O, Ebenezer Caesar,
lived in a fort built from a Frigidaire upright freezer,
Come now, let's be real here,
who you kidding with that eyebrow tweezer?
He was as gelid as Stouffer's frozen lasagna,
but he's as sweet as Lebkuchen,
baked by your grandma,
O, meet Ebenezer Caesar,
the freezer cheermeister,
O' Ebenezer Caesar,
the freezer cheermeister!
.
.
.
"And his disciples remembered that it was written,
the zeal of your house has eaten me up."
Seriously, I'm not kidding,
your Grandma's Lebkuchen is a grace cup,
mmmmmmm mmmmmmm,
tell me,
does she use one egg or two?

Gosh, dear Noah, what a treat. You have such an incredible talent.

And oh, don't mention the Lebkuchen! I love it ... mmmmmmm. Yesterday there was a "Rinfresco" at the Swiss Embassy here and they had - among a thousand other things - also Lebkuchen (Basler Lebkuchen ...mmm). When I deemed it the right moment to have a piece myself, I couldn't find a crumb of it anymore!

Merry Christmas!

Love,
Margherita
