Christmas


Christmas

Intro: My first ever 'acrostic' poem explores the not so magical side of the festive
season. Inspired by my husband Colin, a vegan, and Christmas hater!


Clamouring for the latest 'special toy'

Hype and marketing scream

Roasted turkey, battery farmed

Icy cold reality breaks the frozen dream

Simple things are no longer enough

Think of the people sleeping rough

Mountains of money we can't afford to spend

All for a day when we pretend

Silly season's started again
