The Humbug

When you see sugarplum reindeer pulling,
a chocolate Santa in a golden sleigh
It may have not been the dragée little protégée
when you dance with a ginger man, at his house
when three Christmases, become a nightmarish hole,
made of marshmallows.
It may have not been the snort of whiskey, in a mug
where fairies, spirits or witches have their way dreams
and your papaw becomes grampus hell bent like Krampus
it may have not been the dragée little protégée
it may have not been the snort of whiskey, in a mug
but you were bitten by a little thing called, the humbug
