We three Kings of America are Politics, Money,Self-Righteousness wars As over the rivers and through the woods Trampeling grandmother’s house we go With a giant HOE HOE HOE In a desperate MOW MOW MOW And the world sees the way We honor and slay Everything that lies in our Self-Righteously correct pathway Happy Holidays! Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas to all and to all A Silent Night, Silent Night, Silent Night For the first Noel is in prison or jail And though I not be a follower Of the joys of so-called Christianity I always enjoyed caroling and singing Happy Holidays and White Christmas, Celebrated with green and red ribbons Gifts wrapped in bright tinsel with gold bells But now that its all wrapped up In visions of sugarplums from Hell (which I never believed in either) I am nearly at a loss for words But still intend to carol and shout that Somewhere over some lovely rainbows The bluebirds of diversity still sing Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays And to all, a Good Night! |

I was hesitant to read this due to my christmas overload, but I must say, I am thanking my lucky stars that I did stop for a brief moment to read this, for I was not in the least bit disappointed. The honesty found in this, wow. I loved it completely. |

Duh, you'd think so, wouldn't you? I mean, I tend to be pretty much 'straight up,' unless of course, I am purposely trying to obfuscate around. ![]() I am sorry if anything disturbed you, Sharkie [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (12-13-2005 06:09 PM).] |

Kacy "I am nearly at a loss for words But still intend to carol and shout that Somewhere over some lovely rainbows The bluebirds of diversity still sing" I hope you are never at a loss for words! ![]() |

Ring aloud those words of truth, for the truth of words shows Chrsitmas feelings. |
