Played them like a...
Hydra
A lyric for a 2012 Christmas song
December 27th
(Johnny Blue)
Table cloths and napkins
Once pristine
Now rumpled bundles of stains to clean
Bright ribboned boxes
Which held surprise
Lie crushed and torn before our eyes
Well intentioned learning toys
discarded by the girls and boys
Turkey gravy fish and ham
fight for the shelf space in leftover land
Jingle bells and other cheer
Banished For another year
Detinseled trees
Hit the sidewalk fast
The ghosts of recent Christmas past.
