Christmas in Toytown -
A jolly good time!
The children were playing
And singing in rhymes,
The church bells rang proudly
As presents were wrapped
The blacksmith told stories
‘bout Christmases long past
He told of a story
Only young ones heeded
About a mad king who,
A terrible plan, conceded
A scheme to end Christmas
And all of its cheer
The children were aghast
And listening in fear
“So what is this story?”
You might inquire
Well, to begin, dear reader,
It was a century prior…

“The kingdom is WHAT?”
Shouted King Dazerdeer,
Whose mood, at the moment,
Was really quite severe.
“Celebrating Christmas,”
Said Dazerdeer’s herald
He was indeed frightened for
His master’s glare was cold
“Who said they could do that?”
Cried Dazerdeer, displeased
The herald just shrugged
The king said “I decree-”
“-that Christmas be banished
No more shall they carouse
For Christmas is foolish,
It I cannot allow.”
The Herald delivered
The message with dolor
The kingdom was angry
And gave the king an answer
“How dare they do this -
The law, they abhor?”
From that moment on,
King D was at war!

Curtis Lyon recommends:
Sea Oleena is my first bandcamp crush. Her music is slow and deep and moving. I feel like I'm in a different place when I hear her music. This is definitely worth downloading and listening to.

This album is great. The lyrics are deep and thoughtful, yet cryptic. I went several weeks just enjoying the sound and then several more weeks enjoying the lyrics in combination. Great album.
