Smile!
Because it’s Christmas…
Now call me old fashioned
If you must
It’s a bit of a catchphrase
Of mine, actually
Even though
I’m not old fashioned
But why should I smile
Just because it’s Christmas?
I never wish you
A Merry Christmas or
A Happy New Year anyway.
So tell me
Why should I smile
Just because
It’s bloody Christmas?
Something I don’t celebrate
Don’t enjoy
And don’t really like.
Smile?
Have you ever noticed
What a two and eight
My ‘ampsteads are in?
So don’t even go there
And say ‘Cheese!’
Cos I’ll be right fucking cheesed off.
We don’t all have to smile
To be happy.
And now
I’M NOT HAPPY
Because-
You tell me to smile.
Which means…
You have won.
I AM a miserable old git.
Are you happy now?
Bah fucking Humbug!

Christmas!)
