I Hear People Praying
One December day
A friend put it this way:
"I'll get a few fruit cakes
And a bunch of new ties
All of my relatives
Will get drunk and tell lies
Christmas to me is sure not
The best time of the year
It's a hollow Holy-Day
Of Alcohol-fueled cheer."
I looked at him askance
Then I took this chance:
"I know what you're saying
But I hear people praying...
~ For Peace on Earth
Goodwill toward Men!"
