Big Ugly Man Doll

I just found this on my hard drive, with a date from more than 7 years ago.  I have a reasonable sneaking suspicion that I wrote it.  Thought I’d share! 

Dashing through the store,
I’m one Horseman away.
Did St. John the Divine
Envision Christmas Day?
I’ve gotta buy this stuff,
And wrap it up real tight,
But shopping at the mall’s
Like the Apocalypse tonight!

Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
The holidays are here!
Why do we put our
Selves through this
The same time every year?

Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
The holidays are here!
Why do we put our
Selves through this
The same time every year?

Grandma’s getting socks,
And Grandpa’s getting drunk,
And no one wants the box
That smells faintly of skunk.
Presents quickly wrapped.
Sweat sox hung with care.
I think this keg is tapped.
Hey!  Perhaps Grandpa will share!

Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
The holidays are here!
Why do we put our
Selves through this
The same time every year?

Oh, Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
The holidays are here!
Why the hell do we put
Ourselves through this
The Same! Time! Ev! Ry! year?!?
