This is what you get when you take a tired mom who has been reading a lot of Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss and force her to listen to “Christmas Shoes” by Bob Carlisle one too many times.

That Bob Carlisle!
That Bob Carlisle!
I do not like
that Bob Carlisle!

Bob Carlisle: Listen to my song awhile?

I do not like it,
Bob Carlisle.
It makes me frown,
I do not smile.

Bob Carlisle: Will you listen in your car?

I will not listen
in my car.
Not when I’m near
Or when I’m far.

I do not like it,
Bob Carlisle.
It makes me frown,
I do not smile.

Bob Carlisle: Would you listen in your house? Would you listen with your spouse?

I will not listen in my house.
I will not listen with my spouse.

I will not listen
in my car.
Not when I’m near
Or when I’m far.

I do not like it,
Bob Carlisle.
It makes me frown,
I do not smile.

Bob Carlisle: You do not like it, so you say. Listen! Listen! And you may. Listen and you may I say.

Bob, If you will let me be, I will listen. You will see.

Bob Carlisle Sings "Christmas Shoes" to me.

I cannot take it anymore.

Bob Carlisle has killed me with "Christmas Shoes."

For the love of Christmas people, please stop playing that “Christmas Shoes” song. It depresses the hell outta me.

    OMG, that was hysterical! And the pictures were priceless.

    But I honestly can’t recall that song. Part of me wants to go find it and part of me is afraid.

    I’m glad you liked your haiku!

  5. akinvt on November 28, 2007 11:22 am

    Oh I hate that song too! It is so depressing.

    Your pictures have me laughing between my sobs from listening to that song.

    I don’t know the Christmas shoes song but we’ve just finished a year long craze on Green eggs and ham. I can recite it word for word with no mistakes. I’ve even had nightmares where the soundtrack is said by the cat in the hat.

  7. heathersway on November 28, 2007 12:48 pm

    That song makes me cry every time. I hate it too :)

  8. Jen in MI on November 28, 2007 1:29 pm

    Oh my goodness, Leslie, you had me on the FLOOR with this post! And Green Eggs and Ham was such a fave of C’s that I memorized it at one point. BTW… he heard me laughing about Julia’s antics yesterday (because I’m not the one who has a dining room tp’d or water all over my kitchen floor) and it triggered a great discussion about HIS antics at that age. His summation of the whole thing, “Three-year-olds are just nuts, aren’t they, Mom?” Thanks for providing us with some great bonding time! ;-)

  9. Amanda on November 28, 2007 2:23 pm

    I have absolutely no idea what song you are talking about but your post was great anyway! Lovely! :)

  10. Suzanne on November 28, 2007 3:34 pm

    I’ve never heard that song… but the pictures are AWESOME! And Dr. Suess is ROFLMAO-ing in his grave right now.

  11. Amy on November 28, 2007 5:27 pm

    THANK GOD SOMEONE FINALLY SAID IT! ALL OF HUMANITY THANKS YOU LESLIE!!!!!

  12. Daddy Forever on November 28, 2007 8:30 pm

    You crack me up! My kids hate it when I change the words on them.

  13. Sam on November 30, 2007 1:00 pm

    How can people not know this song? I absolutely HATE HATE HATE this song. It doesn’t depress me because it’s never on long enough too. As soon as it starts the radio is quickly turned off.

  14. Karly on November 30, 2007 9:47 pm

    God, I love you. I can’t stop laughing. The picture…it is too much. It just kills me.

  15. jenn in holland on December 11, 2007 1:45 pm

    Is that the one about the kid and the mom and the shoes and the dying? This is one of those things about stateside life I don’t miss… the relentless christmas music. Of the bad variety.
    ick.

    I’m with Jenn. Don’t know this song and I think I am glad I missed it!!
