The Week After The War On Christmas


Twas the week after the War On Christmas
And all through the house,
Not a secular decoration could be found
Not even Mickey Mouse © ® TM.

The Tree of Wisdom
Dismantled and wrapped,
Had been returned to the attic
For a year long nap.

The Nativity scenes
Were boxed and put away,
But for filthy, godless liberals like us
They're just for show anyway.

But fear not, enemy of Christmas,
The battle hasn't gone astray,
For the week after the War on Christmas
Happens to be New Year's Day.

The war rages on
With frivolity and drink,
And conservatives don't partake of that
(Or so they would have us all think).

Yes, it's 2008
And if it's anything like 2007,
Iraq will still suck,
The fundies won't rapture to heaven.

Despite the unpleasant surprises
The new year may bring,
You can take comfort
In knowing one simple thing:

Time will pass quickly,
It goes faster every year,
And before you know it
The next War on Christmas will be here!
