[hometext] => Bah, humbug ya corporate lackey!
[bodytext] =>  If St Nicholas could see the travesty of his legacy he’d throw a zealous fit retreat to his cave and be done with it. A simple act of gifting, anonymous a humanitarian uplifting, generous now commercialised to the hilt and heavily wrapped in stress and guilt. St Nicholas to the Dutch became Sinter Claus or some such and over time he put on weight cause jolly guys are less irate. thank Coca Cola for the red suit —that was after it lost its toot. Anglicised to Santa Clause, the mythology is well ensconced with industrious, union free elves and reindeer to drive the cause. now he is omniscient stalking days as well as dreams; master of space and time at least on Christmas Eve, it seems. Nonsense all, without a doubt but common sense will not win out hand-wringing psychologists plea you’ll traumatise the kiddies, see, if you give the lie to fantasy. Any guy who takes the credit for all my hard earned effort and threatens impressionable souls to be good or its sacks of coal, then winks and gives kids knowing looks is highly suspect in my books …along with all those retail crooks …now where’s my bloody present?

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
