Commentary: For my money, there's not enough gallows humor around the holidays. I'm all for earnest good will & genuine cheer, but can't some of that cheer be derived from laughing at the grimness of life, rather than pretending 'tis suspended for the duration?
"It's Christmas ground zero,
There's panic in the crowd,
We can dodge debris while we trim the tree
Underneath a mushroom cloud!
"You might hear some reindeer on your rooftop,
Or Jack Frost on your window sill,
But if someone's climbing down your chimney,
You'd better load your gun and shoot to kill!…
"It's Christmas at ground zero,
Just seconds left to go!
I'll duck-and-cover with my Yuletide lover
Underneath the mistletoe!
"It's Christmas at ground zero,
Now the missiles are on their way,
What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday!
What a crazy fluke, we're gonna get nuked
On this jolly holiday!"
