Another Carol

I wrote this for David. It was in the same Christmas card from about 10 years ago as the other 2 carols I’ve shared. He was the Dulin choir director and I was in the choir.

TO: Hark, the Herald Angels Sing

“Hark”, the Dulin choir sings,
“We think we know everything.
If you cross us, we’ll go wild.
You won’t like us when we’re riled.
Don’t tell us where to keep our eyes!
On the hymns we’ll harmonize.
If our music’s sounding lame
We will let David take the blame.
Hark”, the Dulin choir sings,
“We think we know everything.”

Decisively laying their pencils by,
They’ll mark music when pigs fly!
Judy’s late, oh, here she comes
Flying wild-eyed in the room.
Sally’s the authority
On speaking Latin correctly.
Joe keeps mumbling. “Go to hell!”
I fear that Joe may not be well.
“Hark!” the Dulin choir sings,
“We think we know everything.”
