The Reason For The Season

Waste not your time on blabbering babies,
Jack had his dog put to sleep for rabies,
Chester came home found his wife entangled,
Anthony was killed, his body mangled,
Sarah sought solitude in the convent,
Clara found cheer in a lustful moment,
Ashley seeks fortune from illness and health,
Patrick disguised his wicked bent for death.

Strangers like these plod through our dark story,
Beggars all they dwell in the stark abyss,
Minds tormented by past deeds unforgiven,
Sorrow's victor buried with no glory,
Edit the play with love's smiling excess,
Cheerful, thankful - as was freely given
Down the street you can hear her scream youre a disgrace
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool
He cries oh, girl you must be mad,
What happened to the sweet love you and me had?
Against the door he leans and starts a scene,
And his tears fall and burn the garden green
