Procrastinating Fool at Christmas

Procrastinating Fool at Christmas
(Set to the tune of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer)


Procrastinating fool that I am
Waited till the last shopping day
Rushing to the store in a snowstorm
Careful not to crash on the way

No parking spots to be found
Guess I’ll use the sidewalk instead
If I’d done my shopping earlier
I could be at home in bed

Rushing in the store to see
Every shelf picked clean
Wait, what’s under that shelf to the right?
Could this be my lucky night?

Now I found the perfect gift
Hidden in a spot few would see
A gift that my kids are sure to love
An animated kids’ movie!



Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
