TWAS THE DAY OF THE CARD SHOW AND MY FINGERS WERE READY
FOR BUSTIN SOME WAX SLOW, SURE AND STEADY

I WALKED TO A TABLE WITH CARDS ALL AROUND
I BOUGHT 2 BOXES OF RACING WITH NARY A SOUND

I SAT DOWN TO OPEN THEM ONE PACK AT A TIME
I HOPED FOR SOME RACEUSED OF YOUR DRIVER OR MINE

I GOT THROUGH THE FIRST PACK WITH NOTHING BUT BASE
I OPENED THE SECOND, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN FACE

A DALE JR AUTO WITH THE NUMBER 8
AND A RACEUSED OF JEFF GORDON CALLED TRADIN PAINT

I OPENED THE REST FROM THAT FIRST BOX
AND PULLED A CELEBRITY AUTO OF COURTNEY COX

NOW ON TO THE SECOND CAUSE I COULDN'T WAIT
I WANTED A DALE JR NUMBERED 8 OUT OF 8

I OPENED THE FIRST 19 PACKS AND GOT A TIRE OF REED SORENSON
AND IN THE LAST PACK A MARK MARTIN 1 OF 1

NOW I HAD SUCH A GREAT TIME AT THE CARD SHOW
BUT I WAS OUT OF MONEY SO IT WAS TIME TO GO

BUT ON THE WAY OUT I SAW A MAN DRESSED IN RED
WITH A WHITE FUZZY BEARD AND A HAT ON HIS HEAD

HE HANDED ME A PACKAGE DECORATED REALLY GREAT
AND IN IT I FOUND THE DALE JR NUMBERED 8 OUT OF 8

NOW I WILL TRADE IT TO A GREAT FRIEND OF MINE
HE WHOM I TRADE WITH ALL THE TIME

AND IN THE MAILER WITH CARD I WILL WRITE
MAY ALL YOUR HOLIDAYS BE BRIGHT AND HOPEFULLY WHITE

MERRY CHRISTAMS TO ALL
DAVE
