The broken nutcracker is staring
at the angel in the snowglobe
She's beautiful
and his heart is aching
because she will only look one direction
and the teddy bear
wants you to take him home
and bring one of his friends along at no charge
The teenager behind the cash register
is trying to think of a
seven-letter
male bird
for her crossword
and the broken tape player
sings in the background,
jingle bells
jingle bells
jingle bells
jingle bells
jingle bells
jingle bells
jingjingjingjing
WHACK
jingle bells

Hard to love a nutcracker (and aren't they usually females?)
Hey Cee. I was going to say it's a little early for Christmas jaundice but it's not of course. This is pretty much up to the high standards I've come to expect from you in the quirkiness of its conceit and it's rendition. Have to say 'broken nutcracker' threw me a bit though. Hard to empathize with a nutcracker. And 'a four letter word for a female in her crossword' would have made a nice little gift to any of your readers who DO crosswords. Also the single double-parenthesis before the first jingle bells is not needed. Nice work. >W<
ps Thanks so much for the background on 'Scotch Tape'. What a heartbreaking tale. Lovely Christmas gift. Thanks again. >W<

Thank you!!
but nutcrackers are usually males, I don't think I've ever heard of a female nutcracker.

Ha ha,imagine a song sticking and it`s bleedin` jingle bells,no wonder she WHACKED it.The day after Christmas(we call it Boxing Day) I used to say that its only 364 days to Christmas but it never made me feel any better.Nicely written as usual,I especially like the reference to the Buy One Get One Free teddy bear,
(we use an acronym for that,BOGOF)
Different and lots of fun

Thanks!!!
We dont have boxing day here so it's even more depressing, I changed the title because I realized that boxing day was on the 26th, what do you do on that day anyway? We learned a tiny bit about it, like you put things in boxes and give them to people or something
