CHRISTMAS NUDIE SUIT Copyright (C) 2023 by Douglas L. Hubley Santa calls at midnight with a sack of plastic loot Mom comes back from heaven with a cake of nuts and fruit An angel hovers somewhere with her halo and her flute I’m singing songs to no one in my Christmas Nudie suit The dance floor cleared out early and my band was glad to stop Tomorrow’s Christmas Day and they still need some time to shop Me, I’m going nowhere in my hat and pointy boots My gift is just my presence in my Christmas Nudie suit Merry Christmas spelled in sequins, C-9s shine upon the sleeves There’s a star across the shoulders, there’s two myths I don’t believe The bar man wants to close but I’ve been stricken deaf and mute I’m a holly-jolly has-been in my Christmas Nudie suit Pretty presents on the pockets, holly stitched around the cuffs Red and green and gold and silver — too much never is enough People love to see me wear it, but I wouldn’t call it cute I’m an ornamental nuisance in my Christmas Nudie suit There’s a welcome for me somewhere with a love that’s absolute There’s a faith that I could seek but I’m a treacherous recruit If you want that Christmas feeling, I’m a sorry substitute A washed-up country singer in a sweaty Nudie suit

Blue Shadows (copyright © 2022 by Douglas L. Hubley) She left behind the carols sung in the dark The Christmas lights the city strung in the park She went away and who can say Why people go when they go? Into shadows — blue shadows Well, sometimes people simply pack up and go Into shadows — blue shadows Is there a person who’s been scarce for a while? You miss his piercing eyes, his daredevil smile Gone like the tide, but people hide What they don’t want you to know In the shadows, blue shadows He’s found a place to be where you just can’t go In the shadows, blue shadows What throws blue shadows on a bright winter day? What brings back memories that are best packed away Beyond recall, well, after all It happened so long ago Simply shadows, blue shadows Well, memories sometimes just blow in with the snow Casting shadows, blue shadows
