Re: Your Christmas poems
Ding dong! Deck the halls with holly,
It’s December– rush, rush rush!
Struggle with your Tesco trolley -
Don’t you just adore the crush?
We three kings, the dog, the baby,
Cram them all into the car,
If I hurry – perhaps, maybe
I’ll find time to hang that star.
Silent night, holy night,
Holy smoke! The cards, the cards ..
What to write -, “best wishes? Love?”
Or “yours, exhausted” - just “regards?”
Oh, little shop of trinkets,
How much we spend with thee,
The knick knacks never needed,
Mislaid, beneath the tree.
Lord, help us to remember,
To rein in all our vanity,
To step back from the rat race and
Keep sight of our humanity.
Take a breath – make time to wonder,
See the candle’s flickering taper,
And finally, dear readers, ponder …..
Where the hell’s that wrapping paper?
