whether Jesus was born in September or December with this writing being in February one thing's for sure he wasn't born yesterday! 5's

If you were a Frank Zappa fan, you would have wrote this parody to Jewish Princess.

I wouldn't worry about the syllable count. Go ahead and use "kike". Your pacing sucks all over the place anyway. So if all the fuss is about a pagan celebration of the Winter Solstice, why are you put off about the way Jews observe it? And presumably all other non-Christians?

Thanks Tim for the heads up! @Goy... why troll? Nothing wrong with my pacing here and not overly concerned about topic except to say that Jewish folks already have Hanukkah. Why resort to counter-Xmas festivities? Btw, kike is short for kikel which means circle. Originated at Elkus Island for Jews who did not want to sign with an X because it represents the Cross of Christianity. They signed with circles instead! FYI

"Nothing wrong with my pacing here". Seriously? You can't see it? Your idea of what pacing is seems very different to that of most others here.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas (8)
I'm leery of a Jewish Christmas (9)

Just like the ones I used to know (8)
No Christmas tree with those folks (7)

Where the treetops glisten (6)
Matzah Balls throwin' (5)

and children listen (5)
with Jewish couples goin' (7)

To hear sleigh bells in the snow (7)
Born was a Savior, don't they know? (8)

It didn't get any better.

Song still can be sung. What's a syllable +/-?

A dropped syllable one line, an extra syllable the next line -- pretty soon you're talking bad pacing.

@Wow!: You went to the trouble of nailing the sloppy parodist with his own careless work, showing that he can't get away with rush jobs to increase his production. Congratulations! We who struggle for perfection salute you!

Incoming counterfire- hmm, let's see, who here is a perfect parodist with 100% perfect pacing all the time? Um, no one! Even TT the dead pacing cop was not perfect. A perfect parodist akin to Weird Al or Bart Baker parodies not only the OS, but the artist and his music videos. If perfect, try matching each word of each line by syllable and rhyme. I have seen all of the vets here make mistakes with syllabic count, misspellings, typos, wrong artist, wrong decade, etc... Yes, I am a production machine and am proud of it. Am near my first 100 parodies for this year. That's more than a large group of parodists here. I also believe that I have the right to modify my parodies, lengthening and shortening them at will (as others sometimes do), adding or subtracting syllables, rearranging song architecture, and using unconventional materials to parody. Say what you want, but I remain unmoved. Until you are perfect, all you have are opinions and observations. Wow. Underwhelming.

Btw Pseudonym Goy, please be so kind as to submit your author page for syllabic scrutiny. That's only fair, right? Talk the talk, walk the walk.

Gee, no Everett Dirksen author either.
