Christmas is on its head
counting all the Covid dead.
Happy holly daze to Hospitals
filled to overflowing.
Blessed be those where it's snowing
and those alone knowing,
it can’t be the same this year.
We’ll share more than gifts if we’re ill.
Then we’ll all meet again at our funeral.
Then there are those who
don’t give a rat’s ass
if they wear a mask
and the germs they blow like a kiss
of Death are hard to miss.
Our long held traditions
may be bypassed under these conditions.
Be not dismayed!
There is great joy in finding other ways
Christmas wishes can be displayed!
Christmas, after all
is a place in the heart.
There is where you start
to to feel better instead
about Christmas on its head.
