ho ho ho in o-town

jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell rock
tis the season to wax on about days of yore
see, my mind has gone into nostalgic shock
first christmas in ottawa since 1994.

so, how best should i celebrate those glory days
should i smoke a joint & listen to the dead in a park?
should i fill angsty journals with words of malaise?
or chug warm maximum ice outside after dark?

jingle bell jingle bell jingle bell roll
i think i'll just knock back eggnog & reminisce
about my days as a sixteen year old tortured soul
in this small town that thinks it's a metropolis.
