Ambivalent Christmas feelings rise with ease
They fly across the room like whistling darts.
We need some special Christmas trained police
Oh,who expects no torment at this feast?
Shall we resent the piercing of our hearts?
Ambivalent Christmas feelings rise like geese
Some enraged by Santa’s late demise
Tear up parcels and will not take part
We need some clever Christmas trained police.
What is Christian ,what comes from that beast
Slouching towards Bethlehem all night
Ambivalent, prayer-less feelings rise to tease.
They say the first are last for Christ’s release.
The Cardinals each hurry with their light
Who asks wisdom from disdained old priests?
Will all the family stand and make a fight?
To kinder hearts that seems more wrong than right
Ambivalent Christmas feelings spoil our feast
We need some well lit Christmas trees , at least.
