Christmas Carol Catastrophe

Daddy saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus
underneath the mistle-toe last night
Now my sister and I stay with Daddy
and see mommy only on weekends

Frosty the snowman, with his corn-cob pipe
fell victim to a nasty smoking habit,
lost a coal eye in exchange for tobacco
which gave him lung cancer
and melted into a pile of black soot

The fire is so delightful and we wished for snow
it snowed and didn't let up for thirteen days
We couldn't get outside, the heat stopped
and we didn't ration wisely
So we promised to hold each other tight
and that's how the rescuers found two frozen bodies
