- xmas music makes me sick
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- the bridled turkey stirs
- bronzed gleaming drumsticks
- nervously kicking up dust
- as it awaits the opening date
-
- it falls and magnificent waves
- of swirling sentimentality
- drown without disturbing frantic
- hordes of mall shoppers
-
- perry cuomo finds his place
- next to red-nosed burl and
- the season's pick of moving
- covers: megadeath does 'silent night'
-
- lonely in this lunatic action
- video-eyed by breeding and choice
- which prophets? who profits?
- just turn off that music!
