Season's Greetings

With wassail and whine let the good cheer go out,
Your living-room windows as bright as the shops;
And lock all your doors lest the plebs be about,
And if you should see any, call out the cops.

Then ring out the Yuletide with holiday verve!
Here's hoping your gift-list demands were all met;
For good folk should always have what they deserve,
While poor folk must merely deserve what they get.
