Dull and grey
but the body wash will
clear it all away,

the weather?
Oh
I don't know
they keep predicting snow
but
it hasn't yet come.

Stretching now
because I'm shrinking
how
did that happen?

Someone shouts 'age'
and it's
obvious to me
they're reading a different book
and not being on my page
of course, they'd shout age.

I think I'm evolving backwards
which is ok if I was going that way.

Two days in and still living the dream
and yet
in a parallel World, all I do is scream,

I send a parallelogram
which is something like a telegram
to the parallel me in a parallel World
which I cannot see,
it reads:
stop screaming. stop.
you're only dreaming. stop.

Funny thing, dreams,
The President
was in the Methodist Church
when Lurch launched into a vicious tirade
Captain Scarlet in brocade
and the rest was obscured,

some things leave you wanting
and some would want you more.

I dreamt of a White Christmas
got a pair of socks instead.

Worked today,
not much,
such is
New Year's Day.

Happy New Year.
which has been fact-checked
and found to be true.

Windy?
yes
but it's not me
outside there's a gale blowing
which could bring snow in,

I'm working
yes!
once again it falls on me
to keep the economy
going.

Wishing for all of you
that which was fact-checked
and found to be true.

Blue
is not the only colour that you can feel.

I have knelt at the banks
only to kneel with no thanks
when a mortgage is what I must pay.

The new year is upon me
and I am still here,
aw Jezuuus
did you not hear my prayer.

It's on a day like this
when we look back on the year and
wonder what will we miss?
strikes?
tax hikes?
have you been deflated by inflation?
you may be entitled to compensation,
but
we will miss those relatives and friends who
have passed
and for them, we should say a prayer.

Care, after all
is part of the package
a part of the Christmas message.
