Beginning to Look a NOT Like Christmas

Christmas…or not…at a shopperless marketplace in Sedona, Arizona. Photo by Mary Holden.

It’s beginning to look a NOT like Christmas
Nowhere can you go
A season of furloughed elves
There’s no toilet paper on the shelves
So what do we do now when we have to go?

It’s beginning to look a NOT like Christmas
It’s not a mild flu
Thousands of families grieve
Anti-maskers say they can’t breathe
Save those few words for when you’re stuck in the ICU

It’s beginning to look a NOT like Christmas
No Black Friday marathon
Reducing our purchasing stress
Packages delivered by UPS
All our shopping now done through Amazon

It’s beginning to look a NOT like Christmas
To the final verse
Complaints, oh we have a-plenty
Here’s to the end of Twenty Twenty
Hoping it can’t possibly get much worse….

Thanks for the memories, YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHh7pW29Fy8
