Twisted Holiday Cheer

Now is the time to bind Scrooge in chain boughs of holly and wreath collar
At Christy’s, the hat of Frosty has just sold for 2.5 million
Rudolph is in a common zoo, his red nose no longer special but a genetic quirk
Deck the halls with false pretenses and emotions
Jack Frost has been put on permanent retirement thanks to global warming
White Christmas is brought to by the following sponsors – Kmart, Sears, Wal-Mart
And on the holiday special of the Biggest Loser – watch jolly Santa drop his belly to become the modern trim body for the elderly man
This is not the holiday spirit that is promoted by the charming little tales
Christmas Past, Present and Future have thrown their hands up in despair thanks to GhostHunters saying that they were nothing more than residual energy
Should I dare to utter the tidings of Good will to all, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas or anything else without being served a summons for illegally spreading good cheer
The world is in need of rescuing and there is no hope because the kindest of spirits this time of year are in hiding
Angels dare not tread to proclaim the Savior’s birth
Neighbors duel over decorations
Blood is spilt on the snow but who’s?
Have we murdered the spirit of Christmas?
Who gives a damn if that is so for its about the money and prestige, nothing else
So good night you misers and murders!
Farewell all that once made the season enjoyable and bring on the intolerable gathering of family
Till next year, I will wish on a thousand million shooting stars that we wake up to the true meaning of the holidays before we drown in our own greed
Happy….whatever ( dare not bring the law upon my head by being politically incorrect)
