Christmas Break

It’s time to take a little break

For Christmas time is here

The family’s gathering all about

and bringing Christmas cheer

There's food and drink and news to share

And lots of presents everywhere

And most of all there is a child

Who’s still by Santa Claus beguiled.

It’s time for politics to go away

There’s nothing happ'ning anyway

The politocos have naught to say

They’ll all come back another day.

So Rick and Mitt and Rick (there’s two)

And Jon and Ron, Newt and Michelle,

And long departed Hermann too,

Let’s not forget Barack as well -

Take a well-deservéd rest

We’ve had some fun at your expense.

You’ll be back within a day or two

And then the fun will start anew.

There’s just one more thing I’d like to say

My Christmas wish for every day:

“Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men”

How unctuously these words get spoken

I wish they weren't an empty slogan.

Let’s reflect on them again

And pray…

                 That men could really live this way.
