Merry Christmas, Everybody!

My friend, author Randall Platt, sent me a poem that describes my situation so exactly as Christmas approaches each year, that I asked her if I could share. Being the publicity-savvy writer that she is, she instantly agreed. Herewith is the poem, and the link to her awesome website is below.

O CHRISTMAS CARD!
(to be sung to the tune of O Christmas Tree)

O CHRISTMAS CARD, O CHRISTMAS CARD,
I FEEL SOME APPREHENSIONS.
O CHRISTMAS CARD, O CHRISTMAS CARD,
I REALLY HAD GOOD INTENTIONS.

I BOUGHT THE STAMPS, I BOUGHT THE CARDS,
BUT I CAN’T BUY TIME TO SEND REGARDS.
O CHRISTMAS CARD, O CHRISTMAS CARD,
I REALLY HAD GOOD INTENTIONS.

O CHRISTMAS SPAM. O CHRISTMAS SPAM.
I REALLY LOVE THIS EMAIL.
O CHRISTMAS SPAM, O CHRISTMAS SPAM,
SO EASY ON MY TIME SCALE.

I EMAIL YOU, YOU EMAIL ME,
WE SAVE THE EARTH, WE SAVE A TREE.
O CHRISTMAS SPAM, O CHRISTMAS SPAM,
IT’S FILLED WITH GOOD INTENTIONS!
