The Ghosts of Christmas

                                                                  

When December's long-dark days

Grow so unrelentingly cold

That even those Dickensian ghosts of Christmas past and future,

Let alone that of the lowly present,

In perfectly enunciated "Bartleby the scrivener" fashion,

"Prefer not" to make a fleet appearance on my stage,

Then I know it's finally time for me to decide

Whether I need to leave, for distant eternities,

Or stay, provisionally, wait for the snow

To bury the ghost of my Christmasless existence

In a shroud white enough to hide the grayness of my soul.
