Its Beginning To Look a Lot Like Crapitalsm

Once commenced the fest of feasting and giving thanks for genocide, ‘Tis the season to be jolly to replace our thoughts of suicide. Santa claws his way into a child’s mind insidiously, And the air begins to reek again of yuletide idiocy. The bliss of belief in an ancient hippie turned into a homeless wizard, Adjoins the joy of gifts from an obese geriatric myth flying in a blizzard. Eight deer reign behind his ninth whose nose an eightball thaws, Fa-la-la-la-chainsaw-sounds-that-make-me-gnaw-my-inner-jaw. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, It follows us everywhere we go, Take a look and ask like Jack, “what’s this?” And see it’s but blinding capitalism aglow.

G'day Brendan … your poem is most likely too factual, however each year it makes the kids happy in December, and they don't seem to understand why Dad and Mum are crying in February over a little card - thanks Brendan - Lindsay

Hi, Sand, Im going through my poems and realized I never responded to your comment...Im honestly concerned that the concept of Santa Claus makes kids excessively selfish and capitalistic, but that's a 1,000 page essay. Happy New Year to you, and thanks for your comment
