Suburban Lovechild Poet Free verse

Season's Greetings

Ho, ho, ho, 
I don't think so, 
'Tis the season, 
Nope, I'll give the reasons.

Is it Christmas
When Santa Claus is indicted for murder, 
Peace and love are in the air, 
But it's hidden by the ozone layer.

The Northern Star, 
Sounds like a new warhead, 
And as for the Three Wise Men, 
They're definitely not in the White House.

The one dreaming of a White Christmas
Is your local junkie, 
Even Hanukkah
Has become 8 days a week.

Merry Christmas, 
But don't stress the former, 
Because even the Virgin Mary
Is on the pill.

(12/84)

Njeri Hunjeri March 21, 2015 at 9:34 AM Very interesting. "And as for the Three Wise Men, They're definitely not in the White House." I found that line funny.:-) Suburban Lovechild March 21, 2015 at 2:44 PM Thx Njieri...Even though this was written during and for the Reagan administration, I'm sure it applies to whomever is in the WH :)
