A December Lament

The intimated word is - snow

The sign that temperatures sink low

As we welcome cold December:

Short days and long nights, remember!

 

Traffic chaos, taxi strikes

Hassles with those “Uber” bikes

Rebelling prison staff again

Overcrowding their refrain.

 

I marvel that we keep our cool

Are our children safe in school?

Office Christmas parties stall

Some kissing won’t take place – at all!

 

Black Friday limps on, unappeased

France and UK: fish row freeze!

Gas and heating bills to rise

Why do I find this no surprise?

 

For you “out there” who read my rhymes

How do you cope these trying times?

This tunnel still seems long and dark

2021 has lost its spark!
