Take out the office parties,
the carols sung off key,
take out the spicy egg nog,
the reruns on TV,
take out the savoury pudding,
the turkeys, geese or chickens,
take out Zusu’s flower,
for God’s sake, take out Dickens,
take out the decorations,
take out the bloody tree;
but keep the “Gift” in “Giftmas”—
that's good enough for me.
I am so getting in touch with my inner Scrooge.
