I was inspired by a post in another thread reminding us that "Tannenbaum" means "Christmas Tree" in German. So, I offer for your approval a Christmas carol for our time of woe. Please feel free to add verses and improve upon it to your heart's desire. Catharsis is good for the soul, especially at the end of the year.

Carol of the Jets (2012)

First Verse

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,

We sing in mournful measure.

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,

Our voices cry displeasure.

You gave us hope

Good times were nigh.

Then dropped us Tebow

From on high.

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

We sing in mournful measure.

Second Verse

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

You spent to lock up players.

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

You gave us only prayers.

We pray that Mark

Departs this wreck,

Along with Bart,

Pace, Matt , Eric.

O Tannenbaum O Tannenbaum

You left us only prayers.

Third verse

O Tannenbaum O Tannenbaum

For 120 days we’ve fasted

O Tannenbaum O Tannenbaum

By Woody be you blasted.

Back to the shelf

From whence you came

A dunce’s “cap”

To bear your name.

O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum

Our year again you’ve wasted.
