The Most God-Awful Time of the Year

The Most God-Awful Time of the Year
Sung to "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" (in which Valentine's Day most certainly ISN'T!)
It's the most God-awful time of the year,
With couples all yelling and singles telling you,
"It's a pain in the rear" --
It's the most God-awful time of the year.
It's the crap - crappiest sea-son of all,
With drunken wife beatings and stabbed bodies bleeding
When the cops are called;
It's the crap - crappiest sea-son of all.
Bridge:
There'll be breakups and crying and ex-lovers dying
And convicts placed on death row.
There'll be love triangle stories, the outcome so gory
From Valentine's Days long, long ago.
It's the most God-awful time of the year,
There'll be misunderstandings, hateful feelings expanding
On this day to fear
It's the most God-awful time of the year.
(Repeat Bridge:)
It's the most God-awful time of the year,
There'll be misunderstandings, hateful feelings expanding
On this day to fear
It's the most God-awful time of the year!
Once again, it's time for my annual rant against Valentine's Day. Please read my ramblings from the previous two years (2004, 2005). This year, however, rather than rehash what I have written in previous years, I would instead like to present to you a more comical approach to express my feelings about this most horrid day. I invite everyone to check out a panel cartoon series drawn by "Tigger":
Images are approximately 900K each, for you dial-uppers.
