Up on The Rooftop... [Neo. Challenge of December]
Up on The Rooftop,
damn, this is slick!
Up with decorations
Rudolph gives me a kick
As I turned my back
I'm sure heard him say
Santa can't land here
with that big ****ing sleigh
Just leave us alone
we don't want to sit
on top of your house
amid the pigeon-shit
As I took down the ladder
I was scared of them now...
I thought maybe I'll work
with a manger and a cow
The nativity scene
seemed to go much better
I sat down after that
and wrote Santa a letter
Just fling my presents on the lawn
don't bother landing on the roof
I checked it out yesterday
It's not fit for feet or hoof
I'll pick them up and thank you sir
Your wooden reindeer are asleep
I'll let them be, this winter's harsh
and my life, I want to keep
So ends the tale of "Up on The Rooftop"
Not so bad for all concerned
I still get my presents and keep my life
and I have a good lesson learned.
Stay off the roof in December.

Up On The Rooftop
Hi, Geezer!
This is fun! So, I love it, but I wonder...is there a Geezer "I Got The Winter Rooftop Blues" somewhere in here? Big grins all the way through! Thanks!
