EP XM. Please Christmas Don't Be Late

Oh, the nerve of the season, the audacious charade,Of this barber shop simulation where reality’s frayed!I plopped in a chair, unassuming and tame,In this den of shears and holiday fame.With old barbers tending, and old carols a-playing,The sort of tunes that leave your spirit decaying.Oh, the pomp and the fuss, the ho-ho-humbug so trite,In a soundtrack that’s anything but merry or bright.But then came the moment—oh, you wouldn't believe!A riff so electric, it made me perceiveA fracture! A tear! In the fabric of fate—It was Halford’s Donner & Blitzen! My confusion was great.The barbers snipped on, not a soul banged a head,As the anthem of metal filled me with dread.Was I the only one who could hear the intrusion?Was this a glitch in our grand illusion?And when the song ended, back to yule-tide’s bore,The hoary old jingles returned once more.Oh, simulation, you sly, cunning beast,To slip Rob Halford into this stuffy feast.So I ask you now, was it code or was it cheer?Did the matrix hiccup or was my mind unclear?Either way, dear reader, I’ll cherish this glitch,For even a Grinch loves a good metal switch. 🎄🤘Let us know what’s up.
