More guys in suits
drool in anticipation of
wrapping their pudgy fingers
around all that cash
than ever Dickens’ orphans™
could have imagined.
They will soon be exhorting
every frazzled employee
to deck the malls
and ring out the musak
of the Holiday Season™
until we buy, buy, buy!™
Let us pause, bow our heads
and remember the sacred origin
of this hallowed season which was
invented by Druids to distract us
from stuffing and roasting™
all shopkeepers in the blackest night of the year.
