Christmas Wrapping

Bah, humbug!

No, that's too strong 'cause it is my fav'rite holiday.

But all this year's been a busy blur.

Don't think I have the energy to add to my already mad rush just 'cause it is the season.

The perfect gift for me would be completions and connections left from last year,

ski shop encounter,

most int'resting.

Had his number, but never the time.

Most of eightyone passed along those lines.

So, deck those halls, trim those trees.

Raise up cups of Christmas cheer.

I just need to catch my breath.

Christmas by myself this year.

Calendar picture, frozen landscape, chilled this room for twentyfour days.

Evergreens, sparkling snow, get this winter over with!

Flashback to springtime, saw him again.

Would've been good to go for lunch.

Couldn't agree we're both free.

We tried, we said we'd keep in touch.

Didn't, of course, till summertime, out to the beach to his boat,

could I join him?

No, this time it was me.

Sunburn in the third degree.

Now the calendar's just one page,

of course I am excited.

Tonight's the night, I set my mind not to do too much about it.

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

but I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

but I think I'll miss this one this year.

Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas,

but I think I'll miss this one this A

P has pride in me with the world's smallest turkey.

Already in the oven, nice and hot.

Oh, damn!

Guess what I forgot!

So on with the boots, back out in the snow to the only allnight grocery.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear?

In the line is that guy I've been chasin' all year!

"I'm spending this one alone," he said.
