I think of friends, who far away
Awake to dull, grey skies today
While I am privileged indeed;
Sun brings my morale up to speed!
The razzmatazz of Christmas here
In sultry southern hemisphere
A welcome change from snow and rain
Though “made in China” gifts remain!
For Christmas fare, those in the know
For cherries and seafood will go.
But chocolate melts and cheeses sweat
So, for treats, what should I get?
It’s wine-in-a-box that sells
Though water in great flagons swells
The glasses of invited guests
We dehydrate, so it is best!
