Have a Happy Birthday, Jack!
ReplyDeleteJack, you've outdone yourself, truly. Thank you for the song!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a very happy birthday.
I'm making a note to myself to write you a poem when my day rolls around...
Dressed as a gorilla! What a great rhyme.
ReplyDeleteThough his passion may go... arms from San Diego... also killer.
This recalls my former days with my former team, when an email buddy and I had rhyme schemes for every player, and an epic rhyming poem about the '98 team.
What tune is this sung to?
ReplyDeleteNo joke. I guess I know the big Xmas hits, but that's it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the tune either, but I know the name of the song for some reason, so I guessed that was it.
ReplyDeleteI say "for some reason" because growing up in the mostly-Jewish suburbs in Rockland County, NY, I didn't hear many Xmas carols, and now I avoid them the way some here avoid Michael Kay.
and the line about the snow being "Deep and crisp and even" caused me to think, "Gee, that sounds like a potential Sox outfield!"
Ha! Love it.
