The Twenty-Fifth of Whenevber (Ode) by OneFingerAnswer
Presents with ribbons and ugly bows,
Boxes and bags of self-bought clothes,
Get to pick a cd or two,
Recycled Christmas, nothing really new
No, for this year's gift,
What I want comes of pure thrift
All I'd like to get this year
Is to finally subside the fear
Two long years I've taken it at its best
For too long I've feared that test
Health Department offers it for free
So why isn't it going that easy?
Christmas could come any day
We had an appointment back in May
I got sick and lost my edge
Like a not so sure man, on the ledge
I know it needs to happen soon
But it's too late for Christmas in June
And stupid reasons always get in the way
Besides, Christmas in July is so cliche
Loosing sleep and loosing weight,
Scared to love and scared to date,
Heart frozen and put on hold,
Avoiding love, I turned so cold
Oh to be held again by strong arms,
Comforted by what caused these alarms,
Held against a soft chest of fur,
And use that strength til the 25th of Whenevber
