Bah Humbug

By: Charles Giuliano - Dec 16, 2014

December

Vrooooom
The fastest month of the year
So much to do, so little time
Ho, ho, ho
All that cheer
Utterly exhausting
Jingle Bells blasting away
From Big Y to Walmart
Sell, sell, sell
Buy, buy, buy
Frenzied acquisitions
Latest kitchen gadgets
Years of pearls and jewelry
Irish sweaters
Exotic perfumes and emollients
Long gone
Winterwonderland
For a time playful and fun
Not so white knuckling to the airport
Picking up Astrid
Nearest hotel for a
Honeymoon
Home from DC and the grandchildren
Me busted knee from a week in NY
Rockefeller Center and all that
Broadway and museums
Slogging about
Broken elevator at The Club
Second oldest in the city after
The Morgan Library
Bags hauled up and down three flights
Limping through the Holidays
And to all a good night
More like
Good grief
Advil in the egg nog
