Christmas 2005

To my family and friends -
May this season bring you health and happiness!

Tune:Santa Claus is Coming to Town[words: Parodee]




The trees were knocked down, debris piled high.

The trash heaps were climbing up to the sky

Since Wilma blew her way through this town,




What day is this now? I really can’t tell,

Our schedule has now gone straight down to … well

Wilma blew her way through this town








Put in a call to FEMA, and fire up the torch

My bicycle is orbiting right along with my front porch! (Oy!)



The cable was down, no internet ring,

I searched for some Dixie cups and some string,

When Wilma blew her way through this town.





The outer wall fell through neighboring homes,

I drove away just outside of the cone,

When Wilma blew her way through this town.




The traffic was jammed, with no lights in sight,

A stop and go back-up into the night

Since Wilma blew her way through this town


Katrina barely kissed us, and Rita took a hike-

But Wilma knocked us for a loop, and this season was a fright


The weathermen fought the blistering storm

while telling all “stay away from the harm”

while Wilma blew her way through this town.


So Santa can bring some shutters and screens,

A generator and silicon seams,

Since Wilma blew her way through this town.


The hurricane season’s finally through,

And all we can say is it really blew,

May no more Wilmas blow through our town!
