I shared my sentiment with the inspiration for the poem and he smiled. He has no intention in making it come true.

'Christmas is a threatening season.' - John Whitworth
It threatens with turkey and mince
And jokes to make everyone wince
But then ill-judged allusions
Lead to fights and contusions
As brains get an alcohol-rinse.

Roast turkey, roast goose and roast duck
taste vile. Christmas dinners all suck.
To my massive relief
this year we've got beef ....
Oh, no! Mummy lied to me. Bother!

Mr. Scrooge woke this morning to find
the nightmares had not changed his mind.
“I will side with the Grinch,
and I’ll not give an inch,
or the poor will be robbing me blind.”

The carols may drive me berserk
But there's one undeniable perk
Of Christmas, it's true:
Even though I'm a Jew
I still get the day off from work.

And the book was just bumpf,
Not Descartes but "Mein Kampf" -
I'm surrounded by trouble and strife.

Not Chico, but ouch! Oh,
That Karl with the brain that was dented.
