- Spirit of Christmas
-
-
- Christmas muzak blaring,
- sings of hope and caring
- as busy ants rush to and fro.
-
- Harried mothers trying
- to please the kids by buying
- the latest Mario Brothers Nintendo.
-
- Poster child is staring,
- begs for pennies sharing;
- assuage your guilt, avert your eyes and go.

- i thank you God for most this amazing
- day: for the leaping greenly spirits of the trees
- and a blue true dream of sky; and for everything
- which is natural which is infinite which is yes - e.e.cummings
