Christmas in the Ocean State
Big Blue Bug blinks big red nose
Off-key carols by Cardi brothers
River burns and saxophone blows

As snow-flakes fill Rhode Island skies
Forgiveness swells inside of us
Except for all those politicians
Who threw us under the RIPTA bus

But hope is what this season brings
That once again our littlest state
Can embolden our diversity
And show the world that small is great.
