Challenge
Tired of listening to the same Christmas songs on the radio? Try to write a new one!

My So-So Version of “Here Comes Santa Claus”
Here comes mother-in-law,
here comes mother-in-law,
storming down my main street.
She’s got a look on her face,
that says someone’s gonna get beat,
so, I better lock my doors
turn out the lights,
and pretend that I’m not home,
and say my prayers
that mother-in-law doesn’t stop here tonight.
I hear mother-in-law,
I hear mother-in-law,
breathing on my front door,
her hands are filled with a hammer and nails,
and my life’s about to not be the same.
What did I ever do to deserve her into my life?
Guess that’s what happens when the woman I love
has a mother who taught Grinch all the tricks.
Oh what a horrible sight she is,
hurry up, get home honey, I’m about to be fried!
