twas the night before christmas, and not all through the house
could one find a soul, not even a mouse
for the poor family had been consumed by the horrible season
and for the poor mouse's sake, without even a reason

when on the tv screen, there arose such a clatter
another celebrity, promoting a platter
away out the door, the poor family flew
to spend their sad money, on another piece of poo

with the moon shining bright, we hear them return
shouting with joy, and carrying a great fern
"it's not the right kind", their dauger cried
"but it's in style, just like these fries!"

with a little wink, and a little blink
we joyfully rush out
and hear our money go "plink"
cause sonebody told us not to think

every season, without a good reason
the poor family rushes out to buy
and feign a good cry
when nobody recieved the gift they wanted
because the wallet on their fat-turkey thigh
was empty as the night that draws nigh

so this christmas time
don't forget your lime
with a shot of tequila and thyme
cause jolly ol' Saint Nick
ain't dropping off anything
not even a dime

turn off your tv
and go not-so-far to see
what prepared, have we three
the true spirit of christmas
for you and for me

to not listen to them
the ones on tv
to have good fun
with your whole fam-il-y
spend time with those near
'cause it's not about the gifts
nor even the thrifts
but because, on it's way
comes a fifth
and it's not just a myth.

I really like this, I've been talking about people loosing the meaning behind Christmas for years. It's also very well written!
:iconflyboywind:
thanks. yeah I'm really pissed at what some of my friends were saying about christmas. I think it really has begun to lose its meaning.

take pictures.

a picture says a thousand words, a word can describe a thousand pictures. I've got too many of both, probably.

Yeah, Christmas really doesn't mean much anymore.

I like this poem, certain parts seemed forced though, as if you're only writing them because they rhyme, kinda ruins the flow of your poem. I liked the poem and these lines slow it down "to spend their sad money, on another piece of poo", "but it's in style, just like these fries!" Either than that this poem is awesom, I really like the whole idea behind it.
