Grandad's Christmas Reverie
He thought
All I want is here
the tree that reaches the ceiling:
with the decorations the boy had helped hang
and the lights he could reach
to pull off

I hope they like my gifts
the presents beneath the low branches:
with the labels that the girls had turned over
and peeped at to see
which was theirs

It’s Xmas and it’s party time so let’s get down and do it,
your house is the place and your beer is for free as we come and chill out.
The music’s turned up and everyone is welcome to celebrate that festive spirit.

it’s not charades or monopoly but strip poker and wife swapping as all inhibition...
