I’m Going Green for Christmas

I’m going green for Christmas and

I plan to save the world for Jews

and Christians in this pleasant land  ––

plus Muslims who enjoy my Muse.

An EV is what I will give

the lass I love, with a sweet pear tree.

I’ll buy it where the reindeer live

from Rudolph the chauffeur so that she

won’t drive me crazy with a print

of carbon that may burn the planet.

The polar bears will get the hint

that she hates Christmas and she’ll ban it,

and she’ll help me look great to all

the world before the war on terror

fails, and men decline and fall

too fast to understand eartherror.

I’ll give the EV to my madam

on Christmas Adam before Eved

on Christmas, like the one that Adam

from God, his Ribber, once received,

Tesla — prima donna — word

for rib in Hebrew, tsela, gift,

God’s starter for the human herd,

delighting mankind, Evey gift,

when I switch tes for st as Jews do,

calling Christmas Kratsmikh, Yiddish

term for a festival no Jewbu

should celebrate by making kiddush.

In “Behold! ‘Christmas Adam’ Is Born First there was Christmas Eve … and then a new celebration was created.” NYT, 12/23/24, Elizabeth Dias writes”:

It’s hard to define Christmas Adam, aside from the date. Unlike Christmas Eve, Christmas Adam is not part of an official Christian calendar. The Vatican certainly does not recognize it, and many churchgoers have not heard of it. There is not one way to celebrate.
