Festive Season Sachets Poem by John Sensele

In this festive season, give anger a one-way ticket
Give jealousy a kick
Lock up temper in a bucket
Above all, make envy sick.

In this festive season, give misunderstanding a warning
Send mischief on leave
Fire gossiping and yapping
Above all, shower everybody with love.

In this festive season, give quaffing a sick note
Pray and bless tongue waggers
Give goodwill your vote
Above all, withdraw circulation your daggers.

In this festive season, give understanding a chance
Put on hold thoughts of retaliation
Pave the way for social balance in each circumstance
Above all, preach the gospel of affection.
