Tis Christmas

thru the land

of forgiveness

and love 

We should travel

---

Grudges should stay

with the Grinch

---

If not forever

at least for today

---

Hold your friends

and family

near

Know that they

are ever so 

dear

---

Let go of anger

and resentment

Enter the world

of contentment

---

If not forever

at least for today

That keeps the night at bay

Just imagine

Your future laid before you

In pre-ordained days

That smell of blood and betrayal

The multi-paternal conundrum

That plays upon your mind

As you carve wood

John Thompson nurtures his whisky hangover in the Green Room gloom,

And wonders ...
