Analysis of Why So Warming?



End of year ruminations
Gift list still pressing
The grandkids
Lois and Kirk.
Hope his job search pans out
Fancy degree almost useless.
Next door neighbour
Remembering his wife’s
Malignancy.
Tough times around
Wrapped in red and green.
Sparkling.
Almost insolent.
But the Malls are
Scintillating.
Musical.
Rushing.
Cajing, cajing.
And the image persists.
God arriving in diapers.
Magical Child
Of wonder.
Of rescue.
Child of Royal
Beauty Bright.
Let’s enjoy.
Notwithstanding.
