      Happy Birthday

      Happy Birthday Dear Old God
      I wonder if you think it odd
      That we celebrate your day
      By giving lots of stuff away

      And killing poor old piney trees
      To say nothing of nice turkeys
      We've changed a bit since ancient Yule
      When killing people was the rule

      So when you read your Charlie Dickens
      While watching as the gravy thickens
      Think of all the poor hungry
      Send them your presents, c/o me!
