Bah, Humbug!

Tis’ the season, are you jolly? Can’t afford to hang the holly! Got to pay the doctors first. Fill their coffers till they burst. Fill the prescriptions, do we need those? It’s been so long since we’ve bought new clothes. Forget about food you don’t need that! Everything you eat just makes you fat. To fill your car you need a bank loan. Why listen to me I just moan and groan. So many unjust people in the political scene. Their minds on nothing but the color green. Prove me wrong and I’ll buy you a coke. But you know I’m right, they’re just one big joke. Thank God for our forefathers that laid down some rules. Common sense to them was a virtuous tool. The price of a new vehicle when I was a young man. Now has gone through the ceiling I don’t understand. I could go on but what good would it do. And I still love this country and the Red, White, and Blue.
