POEM: Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree: Lyric Rewrite
This lyric rewrite was composed for the CPC Friday Fling poetry challenge, where our theme is Christmas music.
ROCKIN’ AROUND THE CHRISTMAS TREE
Rocking around the Christmas Tree
at the nursing home tonight.
Mistletoe hung where none can see
’cause they’ve got such poor eyesight.
Rocking around the Christmas Tree
as they hear their own ears ring.
Later they’ll have some pumpkin pie
and then do some vomiting.
They will get a sentimental feeling
when they hear
nurse announcing:
“TV special,
Lawrence Welk Show’s on at eight!”
Rocking around the Christmas Tree;
meds are brought out on a tray.
Consciousness dancing merrily
in a psy–cho–tro–pic way!
