Happy Holiday Offends Me
you maybe politely correct
to say happy holiday
but if you can't detect
the error of your way
you may feel a back lash
because leaving out the reason
and my beliefs, you bash
trying to take over the season
you try to rename it
and to redefine
but I'll reclaim it
that which is mine
this is my time of the year
you have your own
Read the rest of the poem Show less
if you think I want to hear
greetings with Christ gone
your happy holiday offends me
I'll take my business else where
my God and Country are still free
and most people try to be fair
I'm not trying to offend any one
we each have our own holiday
when everything is said and done
you will still hear me say
MERRY CHRISTMAS
