December 2024 Collage Poem: Play the Odds

What happens if Terry the giant does

not touch wood what would Sally say…

but still he drinks his ever so nice tea.

 

What would happen if Father Christmas didn’t

stop drinking Jack Daniels throughout the rest

of the year?

 

Drunken Santa is crashing through the snow

You’re all on the naughty list

 

Pensioners too cold to take a stand

Proud cufflinks punch drunken bees

fires of furniture at number 92

a sword of death a copper kettle

tick tock tick tock and the

glory of untamed flowers

motes of morning light on the edge

of a life show doilies and discounted cake...
