Percy, the Puny Poinsettia

Percy the puny Poinsettia
 Hanging his bloom in dismay
 If they had just kept him wetter
 He'd be a houseplant today
 Folks liked the other plants better
 Now he's alone on the shelf
 Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
 Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
 Holiday shoppers would stop at the counter
 And pick out a plant to take home
 One at a time, all his friends were adopted
 Until Percy was left all alone
 Percy the puny Poinsettia
 Hanging his bloom in dismay
 If they had just kept him wetter
 He'd be a houseplant today
 Folks liked the other plants better
 Now he's alone on the shelf
 Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
 Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
 Then into the shop on the day before Christmas
 Came a poor little girl who was cryin'
 But when she saw Percy her eyes opened wide
 And she said, "Can I please make him mine?"
 Now Percy the puny Poinsettia
 Is standing beside Mr. Tree
 His leaves have never been redder
 He's as proud as a flower can be
 Somebody made him feel better
 Rescued him off of the shelf
 Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
 Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
 Even a plant with no uncle or aunt
 Shouldn't spend Christmas Day by himself
