During this holiday season let us not forget the people who are sick, lonely, or homeless; they need our kindness and love as well.
Bah! Humbug! It’s that time of year;
I can’t understand the reason
why everyone is so full of cheer
just because it’s the Christmas season.
The traffic on the street is horrendous,
like a snail, moving at a slow crawl;
the shopping crowds tremendous,
no parking spaces at the mall.
The weather outside is terrible;
it is cold and dreary and bleak;
so cold it’s almost unbearable
leaving frostbite on my cheek.
Crowds everywhere looking at the sights;
the Christmas carols driving me insane.
And all those brightly colored lights
leave a glare on the road in this rain.
But I don’t even have to go outside
because I have no gifts to buy.
I can stay in my room and hide;
you see, no family or friends have I.
