Krampus
By Julian Drury
He is not greedy
Yet he drinks like a fish
When his patience runs thin
During Chicago in winter
As a snowstorm approaches
Echoed by gunshots
And several cars set ablaze
Yet he drinks like a fish
When his patience runs thin
During Chicago in winter
As a snowstorm approaches
Echoed by gunshots
And several cars set ablaze
While passersby scream
At his beastly appearance
Only doing his job
The perfect scapegoat
Of Christmas folly
Watching cheaters cheat
With lovers losing the war
He sighs while scratching
His great horns
Knowing that he takes
Yet does not give
The snowstorm brews
Long after spring
Creating heartache
Creating loss
Smashing the roof
Of a housing project
With his cloven hooves
Seeing mothers and fathers
Wrap gifts in locked bathrooms
If you make his list
Then he will fear you
Living a lonely existence
Not of his choice
As the shadow of St. Nick
For he is not greedy
With an empty sack
He tells us to crawl inside
