humbug

humbug

A Poem by Jeff Bresee
"

Cuz I’m tired of the groans and the chains that creak...

"

I can’t stand another year of this 

with the sales that start after summer’s bliss,

and the songs that play round the clock each day,

and the gosh darn ice and snow.

 

And the ho ho ho’s, and the jingle bells,

and the wasted time - makes me mad as hell!

And crowds that block every road and shop

every dog-gone place I go!

 

No, I can’t stand so much as another day.

Wish this time of year would just go away,

and leave me here to my mansion warm and snug.

 

Cuz I’m tired of the groans and the chains that creak,

and those three damn ghosts who won’t let me sleep.

So to you and them I say… BAH HUMBUG!
