~ Oh, Those Reject's ~

It's that time of year again
To bring the reject's out
Help me to remember
I hid them all about

Aunt Lula's vase so out of place
No matter where I chose for it
On the mantel, on a shelf
It just never seemed to fit

Where's that long, long scarf
Aunt Polly knitted you?
You remember honey?
The one that's turquoise blue



Find the sweater someone brought
With those fat, fat, sleeves
We must pretend to use them
OH' someone help me please!

Seems there was a neck tie
The purple with the white
The one granny made you wear
that very Christmas night??

Soon they'll all be here
I have to work this out
For as sure as Christmas comes
They'll all be asked about!
