A Boxing Day Prayer

Fire me out of Christmas like a bullet from a gun

Blast me out of Christmas on a rocket to the sun

Pull me out of Christmas with a giant stage hook

Smuggle me out of Christmas in the pages of a book

A-choo me out of Christmas like a droplet from a sneeze

Roll me out of Christmas like a round of English cheese

Sneak me out of Christmas through a secret backdoor

Write me out of Christmas at the end of season 4

Ship me out of Christmas, I think the coast is clear

Get me out of Christmas until Christmas time next year.
