Humbug

I can’t stand another year of this With the sales that start after summer’s bliss And the songs that play round the clock each day And the cock-eyed ice and snow And the ho ho ho’s and the ringing bells And the wasted time; makes me mad as hell And crowds that block every road and shop Every dog-gone place I go! No, I can’t stand so much as another day Wish this time of year would just go away And leave me here to my mansion Warm and snug Cuz I’m tired of the groans and the chains that creak And those three damn ghosts who won’t let me sleep So to you and them I say… BAH HUMBUG! …Jeff Bresee
