BAH HUM BUG

Bah hum bug I heard someone say
as they passed me in the mall,
Why must we spend money on someone
who doesn't even call?

Bah hum bug I heard someone say
as they wandered through the store,
Why do we have to shop spending more
and more and more?

Bah hum bug I heard someone say
as a child fell down in my path.
His mother snatched him up
and rendered him her wrath.

Bah hum bug I heard that child cry
as he swept aside his tears
Why must a parent stress upon
a child's deepest fears.

" Santa isn't coming to our house"
she said as a matter of fact.
I spoke up in his defense
I 'm sorry you lack the tact.

Santa loves all little boys and girls
no matter what she says, you see
A child is the reason
that Christmas came to be.

A bright twinkle found it's way
to that little child's eye
The woman even had a look
as if she might begin to cry.

She scooped him up in her arms
and said her I'm so sorry son,
Let's go back in the store
and pick out that toy, a special one.

A beautiful little Christmas tale, full of truth.

If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us.
