Christmas Pandemonium
They rang, ding-dong,- ding-dong- in griefs and joys,
Ropes clutched by swaying little altar boys.
When I receive the several "Best Regards"
Six letters are replaced by a big "X"
Or hinted at by random little specks.
A Santa growls instead, nose shining bright;
Rotund, big-bellied, red-cheeked bold and hale
Swings bottles filled with cola, beer, or ale.
Loud Speakers squeal,- a makeshift foghorn blares:
"Five shopping days left valued customers"
The Christmas frenzied chaos is right on
Please customer, be sure you miss it not
For pandemomium means an aweful lot."
Display their goodies wreathed with oyster shells,
Tumultuous parades do cast their spells;
The noise is loud, but lo! - there are no bells.
A poster says that "Grillé Tourterelle"
With fresh légumes are the "Entré du Jour",-
Its read by everyone, except the poor.
In gathering spots and every waiting hall,
Assure your fellowman - no disrespect
Who wants to be politically correct?
Don't bar the crèche from public property!
It strengthens confidence, aplomb and poise,
And;bells drown out and douse the frenzied noise,
And be not shy to sing the Savior's name.
Rejoice! - ding-dong, let ring and peal the bell-
Exult! ! - the spirit is alive and well!.
Amen and thank you...
Amen and thank you...
