Christmas Chaos by Ken Allan Dronsfield


Bundled wishes
and rowdy crowds!
Holiday cheer;
a long nip in the mug.
Awaiting the parade;
careening balloons
screams in harmony,
Caroler's galore.
A tempest within time,
but year after year.
A Constant Chaos;
I still Merry on!

    A tempest within time,
    but year after year.

    I still Merry on!
