"humming humbug"

bah
bah
bah
bah humbug
hum bug
hmmm
ah...hum hum hum
hums sum
with festive rum
in her coquito elixir
hum hum hum
the little bug is humming
the humbug feels yum
when she hums
humming the ba, blah, blues away

I love the sound this poem makes when you read it out loud hilarious! I really enjoy the pic you posted. If I were an old man I'd look like that...
