Ho Ho Ho!

I've never cared for Christmas cards
For numbers of good reasons,
But still I'd like to wish you bards
A great commercial season.

So burn the lights that use the power
That heats our atmosphere,
And when the seas begin to tower
We can all cringe in fear...

As mother nature's rampages
Repay us for our waste,
Of all of her resources,
On earth that we've debased!

And just a short way down the track
When muted voices sing,
It will give the 'Merry Christmas' wish
A pretty hollow ring!
