Next Up: The Grammys!

May your holidays be issue-free!

Here's my award-winning entry to the Lancaster Intell's Holiday Song Parody Contest. It didn't win first place (they preferred someone's song about crows pooping on children), but it was good enough for second! (The prize was a holiday CD).

Online Sales
by Mike Horn
(sung to the tune of "Silver Bells")

City sidewalks, empty sidewalks
Where did all the folks go?
They're at home
Shopping online for Christmas

Mama's typing
Dad is griping
Searching site after site
As on everyone's keyboard you'll hear:

Send e-mails! Online sales!
It's Christmas time on the PC
It's so quick! Hear them click!
Soon we will look on eBay!

Strings of search terms
Filling out forms
Blinking cursors on screen
As they all rush to beat order deadlines

Dot com hunting
Mailman's grunting
This is retail's new scene!
And above all the bustle
You'll hear:

Send e-mails! Online sales!
It's Christmas time on the PC
It's so quick! Hear them click!
Soon we will look on eBay!
