an ode to crunkmas.

rumblings from afar, crunkmas hype hath hit hard
and the season surrenders for the holiday not far
so tremble, all ye who wish to stay sober
for the gods of crunk will not be looked over
from crunkmases past, spirit(s) in crystal and glass
awakening all that is crunk, cocktail, and class
