A Pessimist’s Ode To “Look On The Bright Side Day”
I was disturbed to hear that today (December 21) is “Look On The Bright Side Day.”
Please don’t tell me to “look on the bright side.”
This merely exposes your trite side.
Neither wise, nor delightful,
It makes me feel spiteful.
Quote that maxim? I’ll max out my smite side.

Its true at this time things seem grim
Daylight hours have gotten so slim
But starting to turn
Soon sunlight will burn
Don’t discard your joy on a whim
The bright side has bothered my sight
I had to work all frigging night
To make up for heat
from winter ‘s deplete
No sunshine will vanquish this blight
It costs us an arm and a leg
to muster we’ve taken to beg
for scraps from execs
and pitiful checks
this white-collar’s busting my egg
Oh, for a happier season
we’re taxed of our good will and reason
my sympathy’s shot
they haven’t done squat
and all should be hanged for high treason
