A Brief Holiday Lecture

Be careful as you travel. All I ask

Is use your seatbelt, and if you should drink,

Don't drive. Just choose another for that task.

You're likely sparing much more than you think;

Blue Christmas is a thing nobody hopes

To add to her experiential list.

So many, though, have lost out to the dopes

Who hurt or maim or or worse, through thoughtlessness.

Don't be that guy; that way we all can share

A happy time (except for those who've lost

Already -- and if you can, really, spare

A thought for such as those - it doesn't cost

A thing!). And that's all that I've got to say,

Except to have a joyous holiday!
