The holidays
are special times
marked by special Spirits,
but less appears
in literature
concerning the austerer
—imps and sprites
that tried for right
to wish you Christmas tidings…
Why, night before
I heard the lore
of Spirits now in hiding…
Take good Saint Knock
who’s deep in hock
since losing out to Nick’las
to stocking stuff
because he suffers
phobias ridic’lous…
Afraid of crawl—
–spaces–all–
(and name due to his jitters)
Knock dropped the Claus
—and gifts on lawn.
since knocking didn’t get it.
And reindeer Rudy’s
attitude toward
—booty got him booted,
as kissing rear
was nowhere near
where Santa’s sleigh was rout-ed…
And while he fawned
and flattered hard
he never got an offer,
’cause noses brown
can’t light a town
quite like a red-light topper.
And what about
the unemployed
who tried to work the season?
At North Pole Inc.
they made a stink
but cited corporate reasons…
Then implementing
ways of vetting
toy & tech designers,
height code insured
their workers were
elves…or else in China.
But never fear
most Christmas cheer’s
on layaway at Walmart…
A corporation
that killed our nation
’cause shoppers aren’t that smart.
Since one-off elves
like one-off shelves
and anything that’s BOGO…
It’s not so hard
to disregard
the “made in China” logo.

You. Are. Brilliant. One can never fully thank Sam Walton for his contribution to the economy of..Sam Walton.
OMG…ever since I read that book by Charles Fishman–the Walmart Effect–I view Walmart as much as a threat to our well being as any foreign, hostile power. The coorporate protections they are afforded could be the end of us…our manufacturing base is crippled ever since Clinton signed the Free trade Agreement.
I love this so much. I’m going to repost!
