Lockdown loner
Alone in all this
is a devil’s deathly kiss
the silence is terrible
this isn’t bliss
it’s the opposite.
The composition
of terrible dreams,
yearning for vaccines
and cures
longing to be with her.
But knowing silence won’t speak
and won’t brush the tears of my cheek
my only way out round my Dads
But we are all sad
separation
saps us and our frustration
talks in to us in the dark
and nightmares come to claim our spark
the uncertainty makes its mark
and the only joy I can gain
Is giving Christmas presents in my pain
to children I hope I will make feel better
and the light of their smiles will free me
and will feed more than Christmas food.
I am your gift
Gifted to you
not in the greatest wrapping paper
but I am person you can savour
not aesthetically pleasing always to the eye
but to you I would never lie
I speak the truth
I can make you smile
all the while
you can’t buy me from any supermarket aisle
I am your gift
you can’t find me under a tree
I am too big
I am messy but no stig of the dump
I work hard for you walking in trainers my pumps
I am your gift
remember me when your having a bad day
I will come round and lighten your sadness as much as I can, ok?
for I am a friend the greatest gift of all
is when you and I rise and walk tall.

Christmas Memes
When crystalline flakes fall from the sky
and Santa’s reindeer fly
when carrots are left out on the side
and sleighs rides glide
mince pies and a glass of sherry
Christmas trees with a fairy
wish lists and gifts
Christmas GIFS
with memes
snow globe dreams
seasonal cheer
and a beer
with friends
and mistletoe ends
remember to give a kiss
and look to the new year for bliss.
Rudolph and the refugee child
A refugee child wondered weary and tired
looking for some food, shelter and warmth from a fire
but the snow fluttered from the sky
was Christmas a lie?
Rudolph flew down from on high
he would take the the child to the land of elves and presents
Father Christmas would feed the orphan child a roast pleasant
and show him the love the best present of all
in our hearts we must all break the wall.
Christmas is cancelled
Tear down the tinsel
put the Christmas tree in the skip
rip down the rope lights
make the Christmas fairy take flight
Santa is in debt
his company in administration
so Christmas is cancelled
the kids will drive us to frustration
but this economy is to blame
so stop making your Christmas pud
let the turkeys run free
stop buying presents from Tesco express
and get the kids a cardboard box instead
let their imagination run wild
Christmas will always exist in the heart of a child.
Festival of sleep 💤 after Christmas and New Years celebrations
Humbugness
When the ghosts of Christmas’s past
won’t go, they just laugh
at all your efforts for this Christmas time
the air freshener scent of pine
won’t hide the smell of sprouts
there is a sense of disbelief and doubt
that Santa’s eaten your mince pies
you are so stressed your eye has a stye
you got put on the naughty list
the mistletoe has run out, so you won’t get kissed
you have a friend who can’t make it who will be missed
when the kids are driving you spare
you have run out of underwear
your socks are more holy than the carols being sung at church
your partner has broke up with you and left you in the lurch
so they don’t have to buy you any presents
you feel like an unlucky pheasant
because the shop assistant is being less than pleasant
remember the year will begin again
and spring time will soon be here.
