Christmas Ding Dong
- Details
- Written January 2011
He scans the skies for planets’ re-arranging
She spots the light- bulbs that always need changing
He marks the start of the peace-making way
She races frantic through the year’s shortest day
He states the case for eternal truth
She claims it’s only just legend and myth
He meditates on Christmas - silently
She just laughs with a comedienne’s mockery
He’s content with a pavement wrap
She aims for wealth and a luxury lap
She aims for wealth and a luxury lap
He sings along with shopping mall carollers
She gets tipsy with night club revellers
He comes in quietly with no hint of force.
She storms out irate, threatening divorce
Singing: Ding, dong merrily on high
Today the bells are ringing.
Today the bells are ringing.
