Christmas Day



don't complain of snow
you could be here in white heat
baking festive frazzling hot
looking for a quiet spot
in the belief of penning
a poem for Christmas
among the crackled eucalypts
sand in your toes
salt in your eye lashes
blow flies floating in the drinks
rumple in your crumple
ants in your pants
MERRY CHRISTMAS

    I agree, sand in my toes would be okay,but since we don't have snow, at least not yet on the lower lands, I won't complain.

    Great Video. Now we will get millions of more refugees even with the flies, the millipedes, the snakes and the sharks. (I had to put them off somehow!)

    I've heard the bamboo umbrellas serve to scare away the bugs, or is that just superstition? This calls for some research!
