25th December; Taking in the fine harmattan dust.
Shall we cook rice? Oh, yes, we must.
The Chicken crows, unaware of its near end.
He will serve a great purpose; If not, make I bend.
"Ho ho ho. Merry Christmas!" Santa says.
But which one? There are like 20 of them each day.
Ashen feet and cracked lips?
Invest in orí and chap sticks.
Winter jackets in just 20 degrees;
Is the weather cold? Or is it just the breeze?
Piles of dishes-or none if you're lucky.
Bones for Uncle's dog, I think its name's Rocky.
Sharing money with your bro or sis.
You might be wondering where I'm going with this:
Christmas with family, Christmas with friends,
Christmas alone, it's still Christmas nonetheless.
