I look left and I look right
I look down and up
But all I see is happiness and joy, until I look into the cup
All this joy, it's quite sickening really
and all these smiling faces make them look ridiculously silly
The tea in my cup is as solemn as I
I love the smell of the mint and the green food dye
I sit in my corner, of the deepest darkest spot
and glance momentarily into the snow covered lots
Suddenly, a knock on the door causes me to look up
And walk slowly towards the knock, sitting down my cup
I peek through the hole and what do I see?
I group of smiling carolers waiting for me
I crack the door to tell them my distaste
But they pushed it open and began to sing in my face
They backed me in a corner, singing the whole time
Their voices screaming cheerfully in harmonious chime
I yell for their absence, but they don't listen
So I'm forced to see their singing teeth glisten
They finish their song and stare at me joyfully
I look up them and nod thankfully
They leave my room and hit the elevator to go up
I shut the door behind them and grab my cup
I return to my spot in my dark little corner
The only change I feel, is that my happiness grew by a quarter
