Scrooge

{Here’s a rather political poem for a rather political holiday season. 

Pardon me, as I recount (and re-gift) some of the more unwelcome gifts our country has received in 2019, courtesy of one particular Scrooge, whose favorite color appears to be a very Christmas-y green. 

Please try to enjoy the rest of this crazy year.  And thanks for coming by to read!}

 

Inserting uncertainty,

Masking the lie:

Disbelieve everything!

Question your eyes!

 

Insulting the serious,

Mocking the weak,

Caging the blameless,

Upstaging the meek;

 

Acting, reacting, and

Pivoting, fast,

Calling out, quibbling,

Ducking the ask;

 

Shooting the messenger,

Rolling your eyes,

Demanding detractors

Be cut down to size;

 

All the while, rolling in

Green, for the fight:

Merry Christmas to all,

And to all a good night!
