Poem
Tim had dreamt of magic mountains but was stuck in a snow globe

Luckily there was some antifreeze in the little dome on his desk

Used as a paperweight for discarded inked upon manuscript pages


A complete stark nativity scene directed wilfully by Father Christmas

Who looked like a hobgoblin lost in translation waiting for the storm

Weary for wear after a day out in the shops on a very Black Friday


Tim felt more like Robinson escaping from his treasured island

Preparing messages in a bottle of palm juice for seasonal greetings

There was no Santa Claus on his mind swirling with the natives


It’s a pagan charade which escaped from the Holy Book in contempt

Of meaning and humility as well as a festival of love and compassion

They might as well have created frosted cornflakes dancing on a dolphin


Tim’s script needed editing but a Gingerbread Man distracted his thoughts

While Mother Mary cuddled her cute firstborn on the way to Galapagos

Unaware of bloody nails and the cross born from post-partum blood 


Hark the Herald Angels but his hero was a mermaid growing more fins

Searching for freedom and laughter as the chorus went forth to multiply

The many voices competing to take centre stage in verses and rhythm


I don’t need imposters or false prophets pirouetting under glass ceilings

But equality and empowerment to disperse fake opium for the masses

And yet the flakes drifting in his mind resembled cocaine for the few


Scrooge entered his senses and Pinocchio stumbling over his nose

Who fell through a trap door and was eaten alive by wild reindeer

Starved by the powers that be in the slaughterhouse aside frozen turkeys


Foul smelling odour scraped his nostrils and scarped a cliff face of doubt

Maybe he should write a novel about unicorns on their way to Nirvana

When Tim awoke it was Easter and rabbits had escaped from the burrow
