Humbug

Christmas is upon us but the thrill

Hides itself behind the tat

The tinsel and the supermarket till.

Christmas is upon us.

Just for once, can we accept that

3D's not essential and life will

Not cease if we fail to buy the cat

His own television, while we fill

The groaning board with puddings, plus a vat

Of cheap Rioja in hope to assuage the bill?

Christmas is upon us.
