And now for something completely different... for the Holdiay Season

"The Night Before a Totally Unimportant or Spiritually Significant Day or Group of Days Near the End of the Calendar Year"
By Lummox D. Fairheart

'Twas the night before the next day,
And all through the house,
Everyone was tired of the sociopathic uproars about the phrasings of certain greetings and the use of these greetings in a public forum that the public may or may not take offense to, because they specify or don't specify the celebration of a holiday or set of holidays that have become a standard of living and a steadfast time of giving and sharing and good will in this country,
Even the mouse.

The stockings were hung
By the chimney with care
Until, that is, someone took them down stating that they represented the belief in a figure which neither represented what this season was all about and that they were also a sexist statement or just plain silly,
So screw the little trinkets that children enjoy getting because that would only cause a rift between the family structure because everyone should be treated equally and receive the same amount of physical goods and wealth that everyone else is getting, so that there will be no permanent scarring of any fragile psyches.

When out on the lawn,
I heard such a clatter,
I sprang from my partnered sleeping arrangement facilitating piece of furniture,
To see what was the matter. (It was probably some neo-political correct militia group tearing down the decorations that could possibly offend any passers-by or influence their children to believe in an arbitrary belief system that may or may not exist)

I'll stop all this ranting
And I'll be succinct.
These are my opinions,
It's just what I think.

To sum up this tale
Of holiday woes,
The moral is simple,
And here's how it goes.

Remember this season,
Don't be angry or trite.
Merry Christmas to all,
And to all a good night.
