Chris Poem by Elia Michael

Hello, how are you Chris Gasteen?
Did you have a good festive time?
Did that red-dressed man, that has-been
Come down your chimney full of grime?

Did you have lots to eat and drink
And lots of turkey and stuffing?
I had lots of good things, I think
Things were..........intoxicating!

Are you still in the north country
Where speech is grunt grunt and more grunt
Where they put forward views bluntly
Where there is always a cold front?

Well Christopher Gasteen, old friend
I hope you are happy and well
I don't at all want to offend.
On words like grunt, please do not dwell
