Cruel Christmas

                                Each Christmas brings a gift
				Money, clothes, a watch
				But if I’ve been very bad
				Awaits a pair of socks

				Time is in my hands
				And all is standing still
				The gifts that I receive
				Are rivaling my will

				Each Christmas is a gift
				For Winter speeds our clocks
				The presents have become the tree
				Although my mirror mocks

				Time is driving forward
				Without a hint of break
				As I forget my name
				While holding my namesake
