PC Christmas In Starbucks Cup

Starbucks is taking a lot of flack

For Christmas symbols on its coffee cups lack

Christmas is the mother load for retail

Means the difference between profit or a chain that fails

Yet in the PC World of diversity to maintain

“Merry Christmas” is about as rare as Gobi dessert rain

A red cup with not a Christmas or even the bland Happy Holidays words

Someone must have been asleep in Seattle as Starbucks joined the PC herd

At least Dunkin Donuts has some Christmas Spirit with a cup that says “Joy”

With a bonus their coffee is cheaper so you and your wallet will enjoy

At least the spirit of Scrooge or the Grinch have not completely quashed the Christmas dream

Enjoying coffee in a Starbucks while listening to Christmas carols in a steady stream
