Holiday Induced Insanity

OK, this time of year should seriously be a legal defense in and of itself. Especially for those of us poor souls who are forced to try and work in a grocery store 4 days before xmas when the weather is predicting 8"-10" of snow that night. As I was shoved around (literally and often) through the seething masses (most of whom were very rude old people who should have been euthanized, or at least youthercised, long long ago), a song composed itself for me. Set to the tune of "I Want A Hippopotamus For Xmas"

Oh, I want some peace and quiet for xmas
Only some peace and quiet will do
Don't wanna deal with the teeming masses
Far as I'm concerned they can all kiss each other's asses

Oh I want some peace and quiet for xmas
Only some peace and quiet will do
No I don't want new clothes, or some stupid trinkets
And no I don't work here, so don't even think it

I stopped myself there since I was starting to hum in the store. What can I say? Krogers at xmas is bad for your health...
