Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire

The Christmas cheer, the carols ,the peace on earth ad nausea.
It's not yet the 14th of October, and they're already making joyous.
It kinda makes you wanna puke.

I step out onto the Target's parking lot, and am promptly am asked
by an enterprising soul in a van marked "Kids 'R Wee" -
Sir, might you be interested. doing a gig as Santa Clause?

I don't know whether to curse the season or my enriched testosterone -
me the bearded lady of Christmas special, side show, circus freak show.
Blessed are they whose holiday is not from the North Pole.
