All selfish shellfish,
All narcissistic fishes,

Ignore our wishes
For a happy holiday?

Bah! Merry Christmas!
Mitch McConnell… Donald Trump…

Prevents anarchy.

Also warts, gout, and scurvy
Try my new ointment

It’s not really a poultice,
It’s more like a salve.
It’s more like a salve
For our feelings than any
Real fix of what’s wrong.

On Pfizer, on Moderna,
Biden and Harris!

in mid-December.
In mid-December
A storm comes to New England
Unsurprisingly.

Peace on Earth’s not arrived here;
Nor “Good will to man.”
Nor good will to man
Seems all we get is bad will
Why is Will so bad?
Why is Will so bad?
How much is environment
How much is his genes?
How much is his genes?
One like him; those eyes, thin, tall.
Trip to the Stork Store?
Trip to the stork store
Turned into a wild goose chase
All they had was geese

So Dickensian. I wan-
ted a turkey for Christmas.
Who wants to give to
Ted a turkey for Christmas?
(Five beats first, last lines.)
Ack. I did that once before. Sorry.
All they had was geese.
'Twas even bigger than me!
Scrooge ate all of it.
