'Twas The (Politically Correct)
Night Before Christmas:
'Twas the night before Christmas and Santa's a
wreck...
How to live in a world that's politically
correct?
His workers no longer would answer to "Elves".
"Vertically Challenged" they were calling
themselves.
And labor conditions at the north pole
Were alleged by the union to stifle the soul.

Four reindeer had vanished, without much


propriety,
Released to the wilds by the Humane Society.
And equal employment had made it quite clear
That Santa had better not use just reindeer.

So Dancer and Donner, Comet and Cupid,


Were replaced with 4 pigs, and you know that
looked stupid!

The runners had been removed from his sleigh;


The ruts were termed dangerous by the E.P.A.
And people had started to call for the cops
When they heard sled noises on their roof-tops.

Second-hand smoke from his pipe had his workers


quite frightened.
His fur trimmed red suit was called
"Unenlightened."

And to show you the strangeness of life's ebbs


and flows,
Rudolf was suing over unauthorized use of his
nose
And had gone on Geraldo, in front of the
nation,
Demanding millions in over-due compensation.

So, half of the reindeer were gone; and his


wife,
Who suddenly said she'd enough of this life,
Joined a self-help group, packed, and left in a
whiz,
Demanding from now on her title was Ms.

And as for the gifts, why, he'd ne'er had a


notion
That making a choice could cause so much
commotion.
Nothing of leather, nothing of fur,
Which meant nothing for him. And nothing for
her.

Nothing that might be construed to pollute.


Nothing to aim. Nothing to shoot.
Nothing that clamored or made lots of noise.
Nothing for just girls. Or just for the boys.

Nothing that claimed to be gender specific.


Nothing that's warlike or non-pacific.

No candy or sweets...they were bad for the


tooth.
Nothing that seemed to embellish a truth.
And fairy tales, while not yet forbidden,
Were like Ken and Barbie, better off hidden.

For they raised the hackles of those


psychological
Who claimed the only good gift was one
ecological.

No baseball, no football...someone could get


hurt;
Besides, playing sports exposed kids to dirt.
Dolls were said to be sexist, and should be
passé;
And Nintendo would rot your entire brain away.

So Santa just stood there, disheveled,


perplexed;
He just could not figure out what to do next.

He tried to be merry, tried to be gay,


you've got to be careful with that word today.
His sack was quite empty, limp to the ground;
Nothing fully acceptable was to be found.

Something special was needed, a gift that he


might
Give to all without angering the left or the
right.
A gift that would satisfy, with no indecision,
Each group of people, every religion;

Every ethnicity, every hue,


Everyone, everywhere...even you.
So here is that gift, it's price beyond
worth...
"May you and your loved ones enjoy peace on
earth."
