ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS [1]
Glenna desires an Alaskan trip,
Donna, she, wants cash,
Kevin and Darnell from what I can tell,
Want June to come in a dash.
2
William wants an old flivver to drive.
A horse would suit Carol fine.
Micah’s so hard to please, like the Chinese,
He probably wants a gold mine.
3
Gary, he wants a motorcycle.
Garyl’d like a week to doze.
Gale’s so fond of the track the train ran on.
He’d like ten railroad ties – “froze.”
4
Sheila’d like once, to be left un-teased.
Anita’d like some “good grades”.
While Andrew I think, would like eight more mink,
And foxes of both the shades.
5
Amy J. would like an eight by ten.
Penny H. wants a nickel.
Amy R.’s walks, have created such talks,
She wants a fast bicycle.
6
Smith wants a nice biology grade.
Cathy’d like to learn grammar.
And what does the Squaw, desire most of all?
Piles of pizza pie, for her.
7
Lincoln desires a back pack and frame.
A wood chess-set for Mardell.
The college men’s wives, lead such slaving lives,
What they want they fear to tell.
