Chipmunks on the fiscal cliff

In 2009 and 2010, I offered a little tongue-in-cheek look at current issues in December blog posts—one a parody of “The Twelve Days of Christmas” and the other, a really lame take on “Let it Snow.”

This year, I was motivated by Alvin and the Chipmunks to revive this holiday exercise to the tune of their Grammy-award-winning song “Christmas Don’t Be Late.”  My apologies to Alvin, Simon, Theodore, and Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. (a.k.a. David Seville). None to Congress.

Christmas, Christmas time is near

Time for worry and time for fear

We’ve been told about the cliff

One from which we must not slip

Want a plan that’s fair for all

We can do without the stall

We’ve been patient, but that can’t last

Please Congress, get off your a$$

Note: As I post this, the discussion continues with media reporting that the fiscal cliff talks have taken a step in the right direction (I’m assuming that’s away from the edge), and House Speaker John Boehner will introduce “Plan B” legislation to extend the Bush-era tax rates for those making $1 million and below.

Will an agreement be reached by the end of the year? Your guess is as good as mine.

Happy Holidays to you and yours!
