'Choices' by Daniel Newman

Dylan or Sir Cliff?
Oh! I really couldn't choose...
Maybe the Queen's speech.

'Must be Santa' by Wes White

In the video
They gambol like Blitzen, while
Bob, deadpan, does not.

Christmas USA by Skip K

Christmas U.S.A.
Do they hear Bob Dylan Play?
Hear him say OY VEY!

'Today' by Steve Leighton

Christmas came today!
As Bobby croaked his carols
Baby Jesus wept.

'Bells' by Erica Viola

I'm a person who
Christmas music makes violent:
Jingle-fucking-bells.

'I See You're Looking for a Santa' by Anna Young

There's a vacancy
At Dobby's - ten pounds an hour.
"We've got the padding".

Sacks by Daniel Newman

Must be Santa, yes?
Well, this Dylan record does
Remind me of sacks.

Christmas Wish by Erica Viola

the world did not need
another christmas album.
(we wish you could sing.)

Chestnuts by Daniel Newman

Christmas in the heart /
roast my chestnuts on the fire?
I think the latter.

Second Haiku - by Wes White

Robert Zimmerman
Comes round here singing carols.
Want a mince pie, Bob?

First Haiku - by Erica Viola

This is just plain strange.
Bob Dylan Christmas album?
I am kind of scared.
