Twas the Week Before Christmas

Written by me

'Twas the week before Christmas
and all through the town
all the people were going
around with a frown

So much shopping and baking
and stuff left to do
All the wrapping and cleaning
and hullaballoo!

The lights have been twinkling
since November first
Two snowstorms have hit
and a water main burst

The mayor's been arrested
and Somerset's closed
What's next, will the
PM himself be deposed?

At work we sell Christmas
to hell with the halls
bottom line is the mantra
it's busting my balls

Five more days till it's over
Just can't wait for the day
when this nonsense is finished
but till then, it's oy vey!
