SEASONED GREETS

cover me in fairy lights
and put me on a tree
hang tinsel round my baubles
in time for Christmas eve
then stuff a twig of mistletoe
anywhere you’d care
and kiss me up all seasonal
so no-one stops and stares
as soon it will be Crimbomas
and I want to look the part
to wish each and every one of you
the best with all my heart

Older Poems #12 : Christmas Trees

Now the holidays are here
I’ll push a pine cone in my ear
and shove a candy cane between my knees
I want to make it very clear
I do this each and every year
to feel kinship with all the Christmas trees

Kitty In The Tinsel (a seasonal reissue)

kitty in the tinsel
glitter on her paws
waiting underneath the tree
with sharpened santa claws
kitty ringing sleigh bells
all around the house
ready with her mistletoe
for when she sees a mouse

Bing sings ting-a-ling
until the world stops spinning
and snow starts falling
