Not sure  this is a humbug, but consider my assignment done, again, with
tongue in  cheek. It is a twitter poem, and I take responsibility for the
inversion to  force a rhyme.

Christmas Conversation with a Skeptic

In Santa  Clause—
Do you believe?

As long as I receive."

I'm not a shopper either :). I'm way in for the  
on-line instead of in-line. Gettin' dangerous out 
there to shop,  grannies pepper spraying folks 
reaching for boxes on the shelves, playing  bumper 
carts down thin isles, and an oasis of good cheer 
when someone  let's you pass through the line 
realizing you aren't cutting in line :).  Bah humbug.
