Tis the season it's that time of year again.
The time I sell my "Ba-Humbug" campaign.
You must think why I can't stand this holiday.
A holiday when I usually feel sad and dismay.
The woes of shopping for the people you love.
The meaning of Christmas does not shine above.
The bumping with crowds, always rushing with the lack of money I always seem to have.
All of the damaged tossed clothing and beat up toys so expensive, I cry, "Enough! I've been had."
All of this chaos does not seem to be worth this holiday.
Instead I am beat up and tired and full of dismay.
I hear Christmas songs that are always full of cheer.
But I can't stand those songs, they hurt my ears.
There are more somber holiday songs that I can relate to.
The ones that sing out the sounds of my holiday blues.
The exceeding amounts of food and candy galore.
The weight gain and tummy ahces makes me say "No More!"
Someone told me, "Holidays are more fun when you have a loved one."
"It's just as much fun with either your daughter or son."
Alas I told the man, "I guess not for me for I have none."
So much for holiday fun now someone please give me a gun.
Again, I am alone for the holiday season with no reason to wake up in the morning.
Therefore, come Christmas day, do not wake me even if it's a warning.
So there, you see alas I have said my reasons.
So many years of all the above for disliking this season.
And to the skeptics out there, A grinch I am not.
Webpages and window displays is all I've got.
Although they are not enough, at least I don't steal Christmas.
I think I am nice about it and I say "Merry Christmas".
So with all of these deep feelings, you know why I don't like this day.
So with nothing more to say, "Merry Christmas" for I am filled with Holiday Dismay.
