I hate Christmas, as you can tell!
Humbug! to the waste of Christmas time,
In this day and age it's almost a crime,
that blasts ad jingles all the way,
to make another executive's pay.

I'm just a Scrooge in the festive season,
Fat Santa's rouge is cultural treason,
Selling us out for a brand of cola,
It's just another money-roller.

I find Christmas most unpleasant,
The lingering ghost of a Christmas present,
To me it's just a day off worky,
I hope you choke on your Christmas turkey!

There are third world countries with famine and droughts,
While you forcefeed your children Brussel Sprouts,
And when this Christmastime doth fade,
It's more record sales for Wizzard and Slade.
