I wrote this up on Facebook, just now, but I thought I’d share it here. There’s an article in the Daily Mail about Richard Dawkins and why he celebrates Christmas…and this popped into my addled, early-morning brain:

Okay, this needs work, but I haven’t had coffee yet…
Lets Have A Richard Dawkins Christmas
(apologies to Mike Nelson)

Open up your heart and let the Richard Dawkins Christmas in.
He’ll settle your God delusions while drinking lots of gin.
And Santa Claus is just a silly meme done up all in red
Propagating like selfish genes to pass along ‘fore we’re dead.

Oh, let’s have a Richard Dawkins Christmas this year!
Or Darwin’s Rotteweiler will bite you in the rear!

It’s survival of the fittest this Christmas, you better get busy
Find a mate to propagate, and replicate ’till you get dizzy!
I got the word a creationist was sneaking ID into class.
So old Dicky opened a can of reductionist whoop-ass, ohh,

Oh, let’s have a Richard Dawkins Christmas, one and all.
And this can be the rockinest…
Not afraid to be the shockinest…
This can be the Dawkinest
Christmas of them aaallllllllll!
