Christmas you tell me comes but once a year	A
One place it never comes and that is here	B
Here in these pages no good wishes spring	C
No well worn greetings tediously ring	C
For Christmas greetings are like pots of ore	D
The hollower they are they ring the more	D
Here shall no holly cast a spiny shade	E
Nor mistletoe my solitude invade	E
No trinket laden vegetable come	F
No jorum steam with Sheolate of rum	F
No shrilling children shall their voices rear	A
Hurrah for Christmas without Christmas cheer	A
	-
No presents if you please I know too well	G
What Herbert Spencer if he didn't tell	G
I know not if he did yet might have told	H
Of present giving in the days of old	H
When Early Man with gifts propitiated	H
The chiefs whom most he doubted feared and hated	H
Or tendered them in hope to reap some rude	H
Advantage from the taker's gratitude	H
Since thus the Gift its origin derives	I
How much of its first character survives	I
You know as well as I my stocking's tied	H
My pocket buttoned with my soul inside	H
I save my money and I save my pride	H
	-
Dinner Yes thank you just a human body	H
Done to a nutty brown and a tear toddy	H
To give me appetite and as for drink	J
About a half a jug of blood I think	J
Will do for still I love the red red wine	K
Coagulating well with wrinkles fine	K
Fretting the satin surface of its flood	H
O tope of kings divine Falernian blood	H
	-
Duse take the shouting fowls upon the limb	L
The kneeling cattle and the rising hymn	L
Has not a pagan rights to be regarded	H
His heart assaulted and his ear bombarded	H
With sentiments and sounds that good old Pan	M
Even in his demonium would ban	M
	-
No friends no Christmas here for I have sworn	N
To keep my heart hard and my knees unworn	N
Enough you have of jester player priest	H
I as the skeleton attend your feast	H
In the mad revelry to make a lull	O
With shaken finger and with bobbing skull	O
However you my services may flout	H
Philosophy disdain and reason doubt	H
I mean to hold in customary state	H
My dismal revelry and celebrate	H
My yearly rite until the crack o' doom	P
Ignore the cheerful season's warmth and bloom	P
And cultivate an oasis of gloom	P
