....mass
holiday specials,
jam the counters of
heedless treasures
Push and shove
break the line
Bargains galore, for
obsessive pressures
Santa's been flawed
to chimney swept hysteria
while old smelly socks
hang fragrantly inviting
Ho ho and ho be scrooged
for gifts never pleased....
same ole tie, toy or
diapered dry dolly
Moms cry for Peace,
while men sportly cheer
War sneers with death
during holiday gladness,
Masked with sorrow
Uniformed kids,
ne'er see th' morrow
Stop War!
Shop for World Peace
Love be plentiful and
freely bargained for.
