Christmas Truce

' It came upon a midnight clear '
the choir sang their hearts out
The shoppers smiled their woes unwind
in snow flake moment of white out
But in this lovely sepia light
there lurked a tone deaf spoiler
out of her depth, not hearing the tune
she committed the act of a soiler

Smash and wreck she mowed them down
the singers all lay dying
And all of a sudden
she stood quite still
howled and started crying
She realized she had made a gaffe
and did not have a clue
Amy and Emily etiquette hacks
would thoroughly disapprove
One must not kill at Xmas time
and this would never do

Desperate to sort this unsightly mess
with the appearance of being normal
She pinned a little Xmas card
to each lapel,seasons greetings - formal
" I'm sorry if I have offended you
I did not want you dead.
It was far more fun torturing you
Merry Xmas, enough now said."
