The Day the "Conducator" Died (An Xmas Song)

I am nurturant, compassionate,\ncaring.\nO Not so much.\nO Very much.\nI am out-going/socially\nactive.\nO Not so much.\nO Very much.\nMy ideal partner\nshould be assertive.\nO Not so much.\nO Very much.\nAnd nobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nAnd nobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nMost of the chaos in\nmy life is caused by\nO Internal factors.\nO External factors.\nFaced with decision\nI am most likely to:\nO Pick and choose\nquickly.\nO Explore all options.\nIf I were a garden\nI would most resemble —\nO A wildflower garden.\nO An English garden.\nAnd nobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nAnd nobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nWhen you turn\nin your sleep,\nwill you roll across\nthe path?\nWhen you turn\nin your sleep,\nwill your roll?\nWhen you turn\nin your sleep,\nwill you roll across\nthe path?\nWhen you turn in your sleep,\nwill your roll?\nI have control over desires\nand temptations.\nO Not so much.\nO Very much.\nI enjoy being bound\nby obligations\nO Not so much.\nO Very much.\nThe mad dogs swarming\nfrom her groin.\nO You noticed.\nO Didn’t notice.\nAnd nobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nAnd nobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.\nNobody\nwaited for\nfire.
