14,010. COCKERELS AND CHRISTMAS BELLS

COCKERELS AND 
CHRISTMAS BELLS
Meditation? No. I'm too tired of the same
old slime masquerading as cheer. Images
of fake happiness. The lantern and the
sleigh-bells, maybe those I can take. They're
without emotion and sentiment-less blanks.
It's all the rest of the homiletic conventions
that slay me.
-
The Santa with the funny hat? Looking for
dollars and all of that. What if he fell down
on the job, with no pick-me-up in sight?
Would anyone stop without thinking, or
just keep waiting for the change of the
light. I'm of two minds, myself  -  my
own, and Santa's.
