In darkness of early morning I write I cannot think of the inspiration I had before I have no muse today Neither in man nor daughter as I usually do Nor mother father sisters or brothers And wretched is the thought of writing A prophetic surging poem based upon The crazed and lazy cat So I turn to the morning coffee And the sleeping world About to wake I do not want to fight today I do not want to hear complaints Or admonishments I want to scream ******* IT SHUT UP! Today is the day before Christmas Eve you fools Could you for once and for all stop bickering Could we have peace? If not on earth in this house Could we just be excellent to each other Without having to party on Dude! I think I see snow or frost on the roof tops No such luck on the ground And the weather guy didn’t sound too hopeful Dawn is breaking Soon both brother and lover will emerge Resulting in a new day Of grim territorial battle I tire of this So glad today I will be with my mother And the hoi polloi at the swarming mall Or some such unbearable place Defined by the teaming masses of morons Some daft young girl sizing me up As head of the fashion police And former captain of the cheerleaders She and my mother will decide for me What I would like for Christmas And so I write Hoping for the best Longing for Christmas to be over Yet still anticipating and anxiously awaiting With an unwavering hope That Christmas will bring peace And joy And all that Christmas promises Year upon year I hope , Merry Christmas
