C is for the cinders that were once our Christmas tree.

H is for the horrors that exceeded all hyperbole.

R is for the roaches. Of course, they’re still around.

I is for the incandescent ashes piled up on the ground.

S is for the songs I sing to bring back Christmas cheer.

T is for the toxic radiation in the atmosphere.

M is for the mushroom cloud that melted all the snow.

A is for the airman, who if you know you know.

S is for old Santa. I wonder if he’s dead.

That’s how they found me. Sitting in the rocking chair and singing that song.
