Bah Humbug
Jesus, what is this all about?
Just cost and family rows.
Useless presents, tasteless tat,
shops so full of crowds.
A decorated pine tree
and a fat, old man in red.
A dry and tasteless turkey,
and crawling, drunk to bed.
The stable was for donkeys.
That's how it should have stayed.
Three weirdos with their trinkets
were best sent on their way.
For some it's saturnalia.
It's solstice too, for sure.
Borrowed from the pagans,
let's give it back right now.

Thanks Dave
Apart from poets, I think I might choose a donkey and a couple of camels for company when I celebrate.
Might get a camel to put a red nose on!
