Was at a friends the other day <br />And had 3 games of pool <br />Of course he beat me didn’t he <br />He made me feel a fool <br /> <br />(not really it just rhymes, next time I’ll beat the butt of him) <br />(With the cue) <br /> <br />Well that’s another story <br />What this poem's really about <br />That Christmas is such a humbug <br />It seems to have lost its clout <br /> <br />What’s happened to its meaning <br />Got lost in the course of time <br />Some idiots say it's offensive <br />And could not care a dime <br /> <br />Leave Jesus out of Christmas they cry <br />For fear of losing face <br />It might offend some others <br />Perhaps others of a different race <br /> <br />Well that’s the biggest load of crap <br />That I have ever heard <br />Who are these faceless monsters <br />They must be a load of nerd <br /> <br />Leave Jesus out of Christmas <br />Not likely my old friend <br />I for one couldn’t care a toot <br />Whoever it might offend <br /> <br />No law or legislation <br />Can stop that which is true <br />For Jesus came at Christmas <br />To save the likes of me and you <br /> <br />So when you're out there Christmas shopping <br />Spare a thought for He who cares <br />He who came that Christmas morn <br />To answer all our prayers<br /><br />Don Pengilly<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-humbug/
