Season's Greetings 2010

Santa baby, slip a wrist brace under the tree, for me
Been a hardworking Rogue
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, a proofreader and fact-checker too, please do
Timely, brilliant, and free
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

I’ve slaved away each weekend night
Think of all the adjectives I’ve had to write
Next year I can do just as good
If you see fit to hear my plight
Boo doo bee doo

Santa honey, you must improve your scheduling ways: no craze
Of TenPlaysInTenDays
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa cutie, the driving I don’t mind but my ride’s near fried
A new electric sounds nice
Santa cutie, and hurry down the chimney tonight

Santa baby, my stocking’s filled with sure-fire hits to see
Extend ‘em infinitely
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

All I want beneath the tree:
More inspired innovative artistry
I really do adore this work
Let’s see you make it work for me
Boo doo bee doo

Santa baby, forgot to mention one small detail: don’t fail
Complete the SIR series too?
Santa baby, and hurry down the chimney tonight

...hurry.
