Analysis of Drifting Yuletime
Home as storm approaches
Wrapped and warm and safe
List of chores accomplished
Panic will not chafe.
Many brought on ennui
Loved ones on the list.
Hope good cheer resulting.
Nobody missed.
But a scene now beckons.
Baby in the straw
Honoured by those parents.
Shepherds came and saw.
Doves cooed in the rafters.
Stars gazed down so bright.
Ages passed recalling
Humble Silent Night.
