Holiday Banking In a Support Bubble

If you are in the support bubble 
You can go out not being considered trouble 
Whining and dining 
No worries for fining 
But what happens if your relationship is declining 
Could you end up behind bars due to not having the right timing? 
Getting rejected holding a bottle of wine 
And stuttering an embarressing first line 
It is the holiday when we celebrate the banker 
But what about the lonely wanker 
Desperately needing an honest shot to thank her 
Surely this is not the right way 
Instead we are supposed to say 
Welcome here, enjoy the stay 
A viral infection has us under control 
Our health threatened by a nasty cold 
Social lives are under fire 
Partying being investigated and inquired 
Do not answer the RSVP bathroom flyer 
It could be a trap 
Sending you to a 14 day quarantine nap 
In greedy tradition 
Fulfill this bah humbug mission 
Sitting all alone 
Bitterness tone 
Count the money 
Saved since there is no one in life who you call honey 
Arriving soon those Dickens’ ghosts 
Corona they drank during last St Paddy’s toast 
Telling you stay home you are not going to roast 
In evil’s oven 
Enjoying friendly loving 
Hopefully, when the disease run its course 
Vaccinating the source 
We may come together 
Enjoy the festive weather 
When greeting the season 
Peacefully reminding us there is a reason 
For vanity 
And humanity 
Flirting underneath mistletoe candy
Good reddens to all 
Enjoying community communication fall 
Putting up this ugly wall 
Stronger will abide by the Bobbies law 
Peacefully dealing with this powerful destructive call 
Eventually leading to a civil war 
Terrible tension rooted in its core 
Talk first 
Let the social bubble burst 
Introduce oneself to a stranger 
Then maybe plenty rooms will be available at the warm manger
