A very different 2020 Christmas this will be.
No hugs,kisses totally devoid of Christmas's emotionality.
Some, I hear are actually wearing runber gloves?.
Oh, the virus.we do sl love, but forget playing turtle dove?
No glorious mistletoe this year.....and yet....
We believe every lying word Amanpour, spouts in our ears.
We'll go to bed and dream of our new savior,Lord Vaccine!
After all, it's not hip to love God nor have a manger scene.
It's the birthday of Christ but He no longer matters,you know?
We think healing comes from mankind, so we have locked all
church doors and watch the barren wind blow!
We are lost in this havoc and enjoy dancing in fear for some reason.
Choosing science over Jesus, who is the real reason for the season!
Villanelle : Who has it the way he or she wants it
for Stephen Hawking, à dieu !
Who has it the way he or she wants it
Unless the World's mistaken : not e'en Trump
Maybe Dalai Lama's got the secret
Pats Amanpour on the cheek and lumps it
But Net-Any-Ahoos ride high during slump
Who has it the way he or she wants it
E'en Brits have hard time trying to Brexit
With Putin vying with Xi to dump Trump
Maybe Dalai Lama's got the secret
E'en the hard-sweating man seldom makes it
Try as he might someone grips on to rump
Who has it the way he or she wants it
ANZAC NATO and what you may call it
All contrive to keep small nations in dump
Maybe Dalai Lama's got the secret
Out of the Black Hole alas Hawking made it
Now all we've got : World according to Grump
Who has it the way he or she wants it
Maybe Dalai Lama's got the secret
