With gilts quite as generous as his Robins bdl And in hot pursuit of our happy Yule theme,
We proudly salute our Congressional learn. We confidently trust that they will survive

(On the governor’s mansion their sights are set) We summon cheer, who e’er he maybe,
For the standard bearer of the GOP. To Douglas Wilder, we wish loads of gladness
In the midst of this merry Yuletime madness. He has no doubt, in this glittering December,
That a black can win office come next November! We salute Marshall Coleman, who's setting the pace
In the GOP lieutenant governor’s race And Pete Giesen Who along with John Chichester
Is also a number-two spot quester. When it’s over, from the inaugural agenda Will emerge the state’s top foneral attender! And send we our greetings so merry To the Democrats’ Mary Sue
