A Pathetic Christmas Poem
"A Pathetic Christmas Poem" delivers a sharp comic twist on the classic Christmas redemption story. A burglar breaks into a grand banker's mansion on a snowy night, only to be met by a small child who pleads with him to reform his life and think of his family. The burglar solemnly promises to turn over a new leaf — and keeps his word, in the most cynically hilarious way imaginable. The poem skewers Victorian sentimentality with a perfectly timed punchline.
