Bah-Humbug

Ah yes, the joys of Christmas Excuse me if, I seem a little listless Just thinking about, all of the work Turns my smile into a smirk Carrying boxes, moving things around That fake tree weighs a hundred pounds Untangling lights, that came unwound The headache caused is quite profound Assemble the tree. What fun! I guess? Unwrapping ornaments, damn what a mess Decorate the tree, well, more or less Did you know popping bubble wrap relieves your stress? After all of that, it's on to the shopping Gotta have something to put in your stocking Unruly children, screaming and flopping Looks like Christmas cheer, went island hopping Then family time, so short and sweet Cooking the food, for all to eat The hugs, the smiles, the tears we weep Don't wake me up, if I fall asleep Finally it's over, do it all in reverse Put everything back, while you swear and curse I can't make up my mind, which is worse The work or the crowds, I need a nurse So I won't be sending Christmas cards this year No buying gifts or decorating, let me be clear I say, "Bah-Humbug", let the ghosts appear To hell with all of this fake Christmas cheer! by Daniel Turner
