Hey! Who was that gorgeous hunk of man who left those golden kona bricks anyway?
What am I seeing here? Am I going drunkingly insane? I am seeing before my eyes an apparition! The nearer it comes to me I see it is John Lennon with eight little people carrying ukuleles. John comes up to me and hands me a tamborine, takes my hand and heads for the stage. With all the little ukulele players and John we start his song:


Happy Christmas (War Is Over)
John Lennon and Yoko Ono
And so this is Christmas and what have you done
Another year over; a new one just begun
And so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one, the old and the young
A Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear

So this is Christmas, for weak and for strong
The rich and the poor one, the road is so long
So Happy Christmas for black and for white
The yellow and red one, and stop all the fight
A Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear

So this is Christmas and what have we done
Another year over, a new one just begun
So Happy Christmas, I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one, the old and the young
A Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear

[Intstrumental]

So this is Christmas and what have you done
Another year over; a new one just begun
And so Happy Christmas; we hope you have fun
The near and the dear one, the old and the young
A Merry Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one without any fear


Is this a ghost of Christmas past, I wonder. I hand John the tamborine, and before they disappear, one little person who played the ukalele went over and set his ukalele under the tree, speaking low he said something about Tiny Tim, but I couldn't quite make out the words he spoke.
John said one more thing to me before he left. He said,"you all should check out This site and listen to Yoko's version of 'Give Peace A Chance' , and maybe sign the petition. He turned and told everyone to 'Imagine', and they disappeared.
Damn! That was fun. Hey barkeep could I please have another cuervo and lime. (a little coconut on the side)
