Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas. . . .
- Ralph Blane
Santa and his reindeer
line up for beers
at the corner pub,
their day in the sun done
for another year;
their sleigh,
loaded with empty promises,
mothballed.
Last minute shoppers
down to their last minute
converge helter-skelter
on shopping malls
as Blue Light Specials
blink throughout stores
like Christmas lights
on artificial trees.
