Bah Humbug

 Party’s over folks,

the stragglers must leave

and the rainbow confetti

absolutely

must be vacuumed.


The doom

of a silent room,

the ghostly hum

of drunk rum.


She called it a

Bah Humbug

party.


For those who were

sick of holiday graces,

those who absolutely

needed to put mall

Santas in their places.


A bitter hint

of quiet bliss

between Granny’s

angry welcome.


“I HATE THE HOLIDAYS!”

The joys

of many naughty

girls and boys.


We never know

what the New Year

will bring,

but we’ll always have

grumpy guys who cringe

to the aggravated beat

of Christmas songs on repeat.
