Eric's Christmas Song

Eric wrote a state-of-the-art Christmas song, the world's first based on an Ericjoke ("Christmas may be late" 11/25/2006). He calls it "Bipolar Disorder":

The weather, it's changing, the warming, it's global.
So Santa's workshop had to move to the South Pole.

He travelled through Moosejaw, the Panama isthmus,
Peru and the Falklands to try to save Christmas.

He found in the Antarctic, though, so far inland
No wood for his workshop, no lumber from Finland.

And rather than polar bears, Santa found penguins,
Who wanted the elves' jobs, they hounded and begged them.

And then when he started a fire for heat he
discovered he'd broken the Antarctic Treaty.

Because the South Pole was much worse than the North,
He worked twenty-four/seven 'till twelve/twenty-four.

Did it work? You can tell if you see lots of gifts
under Christmas trees December the twenty-fifth.

Technically, it's a Christmas poem, not a song - Eric's a bit tone deaf.
