Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for December 01, 2012

There were Pogo’s carols:Good King saerkraut look outOn his feets unevenAnd the snoo lay round about(Here is where the rabbit says, Snoo?What’s snoo?" And the other rabbit says, “Not much, what’s new with you?”)and:

“Deck us all with Boston Charlie,Walla Walla, Wash., and Kalamazoo!Nora’s freeaing on the trolley,Swaller dollar cauliflower,Alley-Garoo.

Don’t we know archaic barrel,Lullaby Lilla Boy, Louisville Lou?Trolley Molly don’t love Harold;Boola boola Pensacoola,Hullabaloo!"

But our favorite songs from the radio were by Yogi Yogerson" " Yingle bells, yingle bells, yingle all the way, I should have vorn long underwear in the one horse open sleigh…"

And “I yust go nuts at Christmas.”

♫♪…Grandma got run over by a reindeer….♪♫

♪ We’re a pain to listen to ♫ ♪ Been around since ’62 ♫ ♪ You can hardly stand to hear ♫ ♪ Three weasels every year ♫ Ah, the classics.

Grandma has had more opportunity to hear the Chipmunks than her grandkids. Being of a similar age I find there are still songs from the ’50s I never want to hear again but there are more from the ’70s in that category.

“I want a hippopotamus for Christmas” is by far the worst song. Why would a child want such a vicious creature?

Chess nuts boasting in an open foyerTax loss ripping at your clothesPoolside Harold, being swung by a squireAnd jokes messed up by extra beaus…
