Have A Merry…
My first reaction was a ‘Merry’…
Going on from there to ‘cheery’;
Then came leer, and then a ‘dreary’.
Finally a feeling wary,
Underlying yuletide ruined
By dollar, euro, kronor, coin.
Later on, and not too soon
I turn to have a Merry Xmas,
Start to join the friendly masses.
Who am I to analyse!
Darting to a love-filled heart.
I leave behind the gifts and mart,
Impart good cheer,
And wish the world a grand New Year!
