It's Christmas in the Coliseum, pretty banners everywhere, it's Christmas in the Coliseum and all the fans are there. Nero's still learning to fiddle, playing songs nobody can sing, the grounds crew's getting it ready raking bloody sand in the ring. Burning bodies lighting roadways, bring a warm glow to the night, everybody feels welcome, it's a holiday delight. Temple Virgins are smiling, wearing flowers in their hair, it's Christmas in the Coliseum and all the fans are there. Old gods and goddesses laughing at tricks they play on the young; Christians pray to their one god and the games have just begun. Everybody is cheering for the lions and tigers and bears, these are the kind of good times everybody shares. Backstage the Christians are waiting acting like they haven't a care, it's Christmas in the Coliseum and all the fans are there. ©2005, 2009 by icebox |

Your depictions are fair to the day, dear icebox, and in their way, continue to this day. I always have time for you... |
