What Would Fezziwig Do?

In this holiday of light in the darkness, when people are stressed to the breaking point, I stop and ask myself this question quite often. Happy holidays!

Crawling in formation with murderous shoppers
I could be one of them, too
Froth and foam, far from home, hate all these people...
So what would dear Fezziwig do?

Bastards and bitches take over the highways
I could be one of them, too
Curses fly, road rage high, mired in this traffic...
So what would dear Fezziwig do?

Relatives backbite over a groaning table
I could be one of them, too
Smug faces make home the loneliest of places
So what would dear Fezziwig do?

Some schemer panhandling out there in a snowstorm
I could be one of them, too
Look down, read the paper, close the curtains, curse the liberals...
Well, what would dear Fezziwig do?

Now this brings up all the things people try not to think about at Christmas lol but one or more of them usually get to and affect us in some way. I'm not sure who Fezziwig is but if he makes you pause and take a breath when you need one to keep from losing cool...power to him/her. Fee

Hah! Good question, and I would imagine only Charles could answer that question . . . Unless . . . Unless someone paid close attention to his words written so long ago . . . Impressive . . .
