Twelve Days of Christmas Hock

On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
A notice of bankruptcy.

On the second day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Two court summons
and a notice of bankruptcy.

On the third day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Three bounced checks, two court summons,
And a notice of bankruptcy.

On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
Four calling collectors, three bounced checks, two court summons,
And a notice of bankruptcy.

On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me
                                 Five repo men!
Four calling collectors, three bounced checks, two court summons
And a notice of bankruptcy.  

On the sixth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Six utility discontinuations.
                                 Five repo men!
Four calling collectors, three bounced checks, two court summons
And a notice of bankruptcy.

On the seventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Seven loan sharks a-swimming, six utility discontinuations.
                                 Five repo men!
Four calling collectors, three bounced checks, two court summons
And a notice of bankruptcy.

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Eight tax agents a-collecting, seven loan sharks a-swimming, six utility discontinuations.

And a notice of bankruptcy.

Nine garnishments, eight tax agents a-collecting, seven loan sharks a-swimming, six utility discontinuations.

Four calling collectors, three bounced checks, two court summons
And a notice of bankruptcy.

On the tenth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Ten court judgments, nine garnishments, eight tax agents a-collecting, seven loan sharks a-swimming, six utility discontinuations.
                                   Five repo men!
Four calling collectors, three bounced checks, two court summons
And a notice of bankruptcy.

On the eleventh day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Eleven notices of eviction, ten court judgments, nine garnishments, eight tax agents a-collecting, seven loan sharks a-swimming, six utility discontinuations.

Krampus is Coming

Now that Halloween is over
You thought you were safe

Foolish child
Krampus is coming
On Christmas Day

He wants naughty children
To take back to his cave

He eats most of them
Some become his slaves

The naughtier the better
Rotten is his faves

The only protection
For you is to be good
Till Christmas Day

The Gift


 
Sweet warmth settles
Heaven's hearth
the holy humbled
to descend on men
of dirty hands
those of us in sullied robes
 
*Some wise men still hope*
 
A seedy stable - soiled
cattle chew and croon  
under the crisp Bethlehem moon
mooing amid Mary's toil
earthy hymns herald
the birth of this boy
 
*Good tidings abide with joy*
 
The scanty shanty sings
a sanctum - scantioned
for tender filled prophecies  
gracing our mundane in glorious qualities
 
*Righteousness gifted to all who believe*
 
Peace parceled to hearts
swaddled in thanks for our Savior
imparted
An ideal love - The Word turning flesh  
in darkness  
dawns down
a light for the lost...
 
Indeed we are blessed!

What I Hate About Christmas ...

What I hate about Christmas is well

Everything.

First off it ain't even Jesus' birthday ...
check the records if you dare.

he was born sometime in March
So yeah bah hum bug to that bullshit.

And hell to the no
he wasn't some blond blue eyed guy
with Brad Pitt looks

Given the region of the world he was born in
He probably looked like a guy that'd be on a CIA, FBI or Interpol
watch list

And Fuck You parents who do your jobs two times a year
Christmas and your kids' Birthdays

And Fuck You wives, husbands, lovers, and partners who maybe
do your jobs
three times a year
Christmas, Valentines' Day, and birthdays

Hello, there are 363 other days in the year
DO SOMETHING!

Someone asked me,
What do you want for Christmas?

Same thing I want for my birthdays
Not a damn thing

I get to come home and
play and tickle
and roll on the floor with my gorgeous
7 month old little girl

She goes to the library for story time
and the zoo
and the aquarium
and takes swim lessons

her big sister is a college professor
her other sister is an entrepreneur and writer

Why?

because I took them to
the zoo
library and aquarium
not because of shit that got stuffed under a tree

You all can keep Christmas Day

I'll celebrate the other 364
with my three gifts

Merry Christmas
to the forgotten ones
the little ones
who continue to live
in fear and despair

Merry Christmas
to the homeless familys
because their governments
don't really care

Merry Christmas
to the misguided
vets
who minds and limbs
are M I A
who fought for a dream
that will never be
on these cold hard streets
where they wonder
aimlessly
like shell shocked
refugees

Merry Christmas
to the 90percent
who sit happily comfortably numb
within the flickering light
of there out of reach
plastic dreams
while being spoon fed
fools gold
and like mindless moths
they fly
to the flicking light

Merry Christmas
to the 9percent
who walk the path
between happiness
and despair
knowing
there is no
turning back
when you become aware

Merry Christmas
to the 1percent
who fully believe
that common sense logic
and empathy
should only belong
in the lands
of poor peoples dreams

for as long we continue to celebrate
imaginary gods and fake beliefs
we will live in a divided, lopsided
capitalistic board game where the outcome
is always the same
