A Christmas Poem for DailyKos
And every worker, every boss.
People shy and people nosy,
Even if your name is Rosie.
Atheists can quit their bitchins
(This means YOU, Christopher Hitchens.)
Noam Chomsky! Howard Zinn!
Despair is such a mortal sin!
We mark the day our Lord was born
And send some love to David Corn.
Why be mean? Become a sweety!
Give a kiss to our friend Tweety!
When you feel like giving more
A brand-new parka for Al Gore!
We understand our Christian duty,
Mitt and John and Fred and Rudy,
Michelle and Barack Obama,
Don't forget the Dalai Lama!
John Edwards, with those gorgeous locks,
Shares secrets with Vicente Fox.
Nick Sarkozy, Gordon Brown,
You know they'll really paint the town!
Pat Buchanan, Jeb Magruder,
Clarence Thomas, David Souter,
Tony Blair, Bashir Assad,
And Mahmoud Ahmedinejad!
Arianna and Jane Smiley
Tip a glass with Bill O'Reilly.
Deck the halls! Don't be a Grinch
To Modo, Frank and Paul and Pinch.
And put a hefty log on slowburn,
Pat and Alexander Cockburn.
Feel the spirit, spread the joy
With soothing words for Taser Boy.
Then we'll start a cheerful rumor:
Yuletide bliss for Chuckie Schumer.
Oregon to Carolina
Stockings stuff'd with toys from China.
Gather 'round the tree and sing:
We owe it all to Deng Xiaoping!
KO and the Countdown crew,
The lovely ladies on The View,
Ring the bells and join the chorus
Hearty greetings for Chuck Norris!
Have some turkey! You don't need a
Poultry offset signed by PETA.
Snuggle in a comfy sweater,
Sing Noel with Eddie Vedder.
Barbara Boxer, Dennis Miller,
Hillary and Barry Diller.
Christmas Greetings, loud and raucus,
Drive your sweetheart to the caucus!
