Some would sing
unmercifully of joy, Even as the darkness fast descends, A soporific meant to spirits buoy, So blissful that it gives one's heart the bends. Often holidays can be a pain -- Needy, noisy, full of aggravation. Still, it might seem churlish to complain, Given Uncle Scrooge's reputation. Remember, then, to cherish every day, Even holidays, with heartfelt cheer, Embracing what you cannot shoo away, Though with a little snort that says you're here. In everyone a bit of humbug lurks, Nor should you judge a cover by its quirks, Granting fools a bit of charity, So long as you come by it honestly. Copyright by Nicholas Gordon.
