AS MY WORLD TURNS
Wondering
Who took away my memory and hobbled me with fears?
Who stole my yesterday's and left me with all these years?
What alien kidnapped my grandbabies, absent from my empty lap?
How I miss all the rasslin' and the hasslin' ! May I please have them back?
A Plain Man slouches toward Bethlehem, wondering as he wanders:
What happened to that Old Gang of Mine, gone like a used sunset?
No wonder I can't find them; they're chatting on the internet.
Who absconded with my Thanksgiving Friday and painted it black?
And how is it that upstart Rudolph now gets to lead the pack?
I really miss "Joy to the World" and all the Christmas rhymes.
Guess what I just heard? "Let it snow, let it snow" for the 1000th time.
And what Grinch took my baby Jesus? Could anything be stranger
than a thief who would throw out the Babe and cop the Manger?
Which merchant emptied out my bank account and made me sad like this?
Thank Heaven, O Thank Heaven, they didn't get my Christmas Mailing List.
