Christmas Carols 2010 Style

My friend Jules wrote on her blog about creating new words for Christmas carols that were more befitting for Arizona, due to its weather challenged location when it comes to snow, sleighs, etc..  Sounds like fun, so here are my efforts. 

(Sung to the tune of Jingle Bells)

Credit Cards


Crawling on I-10

In an overheated car

Looking for the mall

So many miles afar.

 

Find a parking spot

Out past the man-made snow

Now I have to walk four miles

before I spend my dough!

 

Oh credit cards, credit cards

Please let your limits hold

so I can buy ties for Dad

For Mom, a ring of gold.

Credit cards, credit cards,

Keep your magnetic grip

Slide through machines easily

So I can shorten this trip.

 

All my presents bought

Wrapped beneath the fake, pre-lit, manufactured, really, really expensive Lowe's bought tree,

The family screaming epithets

at bad calls  and referees

 

The presents have been opened

Wrapping paper strewn about

When that first bill comes in the mail

I hope I don't pass out --

 

OHHH credit cards, credit cards

Time to pay you back
Guess I'm back to rice and beans

To get my budget back on track

Credit cards, credit cards,

I'm done using you,  I swear

Oh wait a sec - look- on sale -

Christmas underwear!

Thank you, Jules, for being my muse for this piece.  I hope you like it!
