Bah Humbug - A Grumpy Carol

Two days before Christmas Finally, it is near I’m so sick of the chatter and all the cheer Smiling faces, warm hearts, and hugs I can only think of one thing, Bah Humbug Everyone joyous and being extra kind One would think they have lost their mind Red and green decorations everywhere Gold or silver tinsel, I don’t care Houses all covered in lights Attacked by holiday parasites Radio playing nothing but Christmas songs Honestly, I find it all tiresome and long Hustle and bustle for a gift of something dear I never get what I want anyways, Slowly, counting down the days until it is over next year Cinnamon sticks and gingerbread cookies what a stench I despise it all like the Grinch Some may say I seem a bit Scrooged With my cup of hot cocoa and a cold-hearted rouge Who knows in the midst of it all Something may spark and I could have a ball But for now, I look out the window Gazing at the hideous Santa and reindeer across the street and shrug The only thing I can think of is, Bah Humbug

Bloody happy people at Christmastime. What is wrong with people. No time to chatter, must deliver cards to neighbours I've never met.
