Catching the Christmas Party Express?

"...Is your Christmas heart stirred?.."

Catching the Christmas Party Express?

Look at me, look close.
Is your Christmas heart stirred?
Linus taught all you Charlie Browns the meaning of Christmas
Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a shame!

Aww, don't you worry,
this sidewalk is cold but there's a warm subway breeze.
I got all I own in a smiley face bag
and
Christ choose my company,
Christ shared bread with me.

I do appreciate the buck.
I'll get some stale bread,
filter shoe polish through it and
we'll share a Christmas toast.

Just scoot around my legs, enjoy your party.
Merry Christmas
Cheers.
