Department store Elf's Lament

Candy cane leotards

Bells on my feet

Elfy in my jumpsuit

Forest green wreaths

 

Oh the calamity!

Oh the humanity,

must I be dressed this way?

 

Santa is drunk

That mom's outta luck

as her child is wailing away

 

My boss is a jerk

for making me work

extra hours no holiday pay

 

I'll be glad to be done

with that lush santa bum

Sipping eggnog

eating fruit cake all day

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Wanted to write somthing a little light hearted and festive.  I imagined what it would be like to be a department store elf.  Happy Holidays!

Drunken Santas, Batman!

If this is light verse, I'd like to see the heavy. Work and no double time pay on the holiday! Bah humbug! But it was the tights. The candy cane tights! Ouch! - Lady A

Lol, I'm sure you would Stella.

I'm at a stand still right now though.  Not sure exactly what I want to say.  In time though.  I'm sure I'll squeeze somthing out of my brain, then turn it into legible symbols to make for an either incomplete or clear thought.
