Poe's Poe Trees .'.
hih,
I found this in an older incarnation of the PentaBlog:
d'ya like trees? d'ya like Poe? My Poe Trees save Trees (unlike Poe) coz Poe's Poe Trees wozzon paper.
Though my poe trees (or supPoesed poe trees) are noe moe like Poe's than suppoesed tories. So my suppoesed Poe Trees come, like Poe's adultries, from my bum.
heh - I almost changed the last bit, till I noticed a pseudo-Joycean connection with an earlier phrase that I also felt was out of place..
hah.
huh? One of the more amusing side-effects of my day job: We had winter/holiday decorations at the cafe, slowly getting more and more festive. the day after thanksgiving, the christmas music was put on, holly went up, and frickin' christmas lights sprung up everywhere... the day after!
hoh oho.

I am not even going to get into my rant about jaded Westerners forcing down 'one more wafer-thin mint' in celebration. No fasting or sacrifice. Whoops.
I assume your Joycean reference might relate to his first book of pomes - Chamber Music.
"In the early years of their relationship, Joyce enjoyed listening to Nora use the chamber pot, an activity that suggested a title for his first collection of poems - Chamber Music, or 'Shamebred Music' as he calls it in Finnegans Wake (164.15-16)" (p. 58) He also quotes an ambiguous reference to the title in Ulysses: "'Chamber music. Could make a kind of pun on that. It is a kind of music I often thought when she' (U 11.979-80)."
And of course, the nickname for a chamber pot was a 'PO'.
