the picture of Christmas 
merrily, all high – a ding dong 
Christmas Eve she lit the candles,
threw the tapers away 
… little Jenny was an orphan on Christmas Day 
                             – Saga of Jenny 
with sunshine ungifted
let nothing ye 
it’s first the koel – two notes
is all 
we keep the tree outside here 
do they even know? 
… to save us all from 
begins after Easter in the shops
hot cross 
immaculate!
hide your eggs
on a surfboard, imagine
pressies in pouch 
we wish you and wish you 
they grow up so fast!
ready set – 
the races
… the Christmas biscuit 
pudding and cake 
fat geese are paté now 
in a bottle where we swim 
twelve days of this 
till gout
and chimley 
not even mouse 
go berceuse
project onto infant 
hopes and fears
and oh what fun it is to ride!
history is cruel
all angels in the heavens sing 
wicked Herod comes after 
the kiddies with sword
joy too much 
e-vandalize
(so many bell-slain)
our comfort and
altar lamb delicious 
lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
burn some at the stake 
draw, quarter
lie like post-prandial python
rejoice that nothing’s forever
and ever
limber such wings to fly 
and silver bauble
fruit worlds lit 
then the Christmas tree rockets
take off
shape snifter in excelsis 
and beer
possibly the Christmas cone 
another sugar day it is 
and all the bells on earth shall
ring 
little stumble 
in Christmas socks 
with Christmas head 
nothing dismayed
tinsel bright too 
in the undertree forage
go gingerbread
soak for a month 
a bon bon in the cracker 
pun uppermost, cold joke 
three wise guys 
three ships of the desert
they came in the morning of
course
a later crusade
triumphant 
true love sent joy to 
and deck them 
halls too
rest ye merry
a silent night then this! 
so secret Santa is
