“Repeat the sounding joy” times three

Command or suggestion?

 

Crushed red and white bits top whipped cream

Cocoa warms my hand

 

If only one could “Repeat the sounding joy”

On demand

 

The melody offers sound reason 

As they say, “Tis the season!”

 

But all I can do is. Sit. Sip.

And hope it comes more naturally
