December 8th

When the Christmas lights are iridescent

When all around are opening presents

There one man who's feeling unpleasant

That's John

During the time of the kids nativity’s

He doesn't join in with the festivities

he playfully adding up his negativity

That's John

We try to pass on the Advent message

Hand him a neatly wrapped package

He just has a turkey sandwich

That's John
With a glint in eye and secret smile

He says Christmas irritates and riles

And that Santa's not been in a while

That's John

I hope his Christmas is on the mend

I hope he sees family and friends

I hope he just likes to pretend

That's John

As you're in a Scrooge like way

We wish an unhappy Christmas day

And may Santa hit you with his sleigh

That's John

As an addition to this rhyme

John actually had a very nice time

He even gave me his glass of wine

That's John.
