I'll stick you in a wormhole


-Lance McLaine


No one wants the ball to drop

In the middle of a summer night

No one wants to make a toast

When the time just isn’t right


No one’s counting down to midnight

When midnight’s nowhere near

No one celebrates New Year’s Day

In the middle of the year


No couples are feeding each other chocolates

No couples are getting all cheesy

No singles are feeling uncomfortable

No singles are feeling all queasy


No one’s writing romantic cards

No one’s going on expensive dates

No one celebrates Valentine's Day

On September the twenty eighth


No one’s setting off fireworks

No one’s having a barbeque

No one’s getting all patriotic

Well… apparently, except for you


No smoke bombs, sparklers, bottle rockets

No fireworks will fly

No one celebrates July the fourth

When it isn’t the fourth of July


As you can see, you’ve got it all wrong

Celebrating holidays at the wrong time of year

No one likes… hey, wait a minute

What’s that Christmas tree doing here?


The author's comments:

I read a poem about Christmas in July, so I decided to make one similar to it, including holidays such as New Year's Day, Valintines Day, and the Fourth of July.
