Where is the Spirit of the Holiday

a poem about the seasonal blues

Just where is the spirit

Of the holiday

I clearly recall

Packing it away

With the tape and bows

And that plastic sleigh

Just where is the spirit

Of the holiday

I need it to whisk

All these blues away

I think Mr. Trump had it redacted.

Thanks. Yeah, you may be right. ~Jim

Maybe it’s hiding out somewhere amongst all those Hallmark movies of the season!

[Desert Knave]

Thanks. I usually watch one new one every year, so maybe I need to get that done. ~Jim
