Well, it's the afternoon now. And I have an important public service announcement: IT'S FRIDAY! Yes, it is finally Friday. Although if you are reading this on a day other than when I'm writing it then it might not be Friday, unless you are a week late to read it. But in any case, it's Friday now! After a long and grueling week, I finally have a little bit of time to relax.
So I was having trouble thinking of what to write about, and the Cornell chimes just inspired me. As I was walking to class, "Jingle Bells" started playing. For all of you under-rock dwellers, Jingle Bells is a Christmas carol. And for all of you month-ly challenged people, we are in October, and Christmas is over two months away. Which brings me to my haiku:
Constitutional
Amendments are needed for
Holiday store ads
Seriously. Seriously. Halloween has not even passed, and Christmas trees can already be found erected (get your mind out of the gutter) in your local stores. What I propose is a constitutional amendment saying that holiday decorations can't be put up until the passing of the holiday that comes before it, which is how it should be. So Halloween decorations can't go up until after Labor day (or Columbus day even), Thanksgiving until after Halloween, Christmas until after Thanksgiving, St. Valentines until a bit after New Years, and so on. Right now it's just ridiculous. When I go shopping for discount swimsuits at the end of the summer, I should by no means be encouraged to start shopping for Christmas tree ornaments.
