'Tis Xmas Poem by John Sensele

‘Tis Xmas that writes off manger Jesus Christ with extravagance in tow
When the starry eyed hurry up to splurge
In ostentatious style; a season teeming with slow
Sapience, radiance and influence that insanities purge.

‘Tis Xmas and New Year festive seasons
Reason flies of the window and lunacy whims
Switch off medulla oblongata as prisons
Ingest hordes of offenders who purloin drudgery dreams.

‘Tis Xmas and the dunce swim in reams
Of daft dreams explored and implored to impress
Legions of leeches who entice teams
Of cash and check handlers stewardship to distress.

‘Tis Xmas and mad blood rushes to heads
Gone to seed to feed unquenchable appetites for delights
Creature comforts, binge winging and beds
Unslept in by hubbies whose flights from their crib switch off family lights.
