KEVIN HORRIGAN: How the liberals stole Christmas (or) A visit from St. Dick

Twas the month before Christmas
And as I lit candles,
Conservatives stirred -
They were onto a scandal.

"They want to kill Christmas!"
Came the cry from the right:
"They want to axe Bethlehem
And O! Holy Night!

"They're after the Christ child
And Joseph and Mary
And shepherds and wise men;
These liberals are scary."

Who? I said. Who
Is behind these cruel plots?
"Well, we're not really sure,
But we heard it on Fox.

"Fox fair and balanced;
Esteemed, and most highly.
We're not really sure -
It was prob'ly O'Reilly."

3. Liberal Christmas songs

Trilobite, burrows, and Cephalopoda,
Corals and worms and lamellibranchiata,
Echinoderm skeletons made out of rings -
These are a few of my favorite things.

Asteroid impact and classification,
Isotope dating and bioturbation;
In the Triassic the birds got their wings -
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the clam bites, when the shells sink,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember that most are extinct
And then I don't feel so bad.

Darwin, Lamarck and genetic mutation,
Gradual changes and quick punctuation;
DNA bases all bound up in strings -
These are a few of my favorite things.

Protista and Ediacara fauna,
Eukaryota, Pangaea, Gondwana;
Vema, a monoplacophoan, clings -
These are a few of my favorite things.

When the sharks bite, when the polyps sting,
When I'm feeling sad,
I simply remember that most are extinct
These are a few of my favorite things.
