Benediction To Thy Deux Daughters Verse Two

via unspoken mandate, and 
thence subsequently, when receiving 
presents galore, tis incumbent to craft
sincere polite thank you note 
(written in calligraphy if possibly)

to evince real or feigned gratitude 
despite The Battle of Life travails
and, whenever possibly necessarily 
over spending monetary reserves
setting stage for Bleak House 
after festivities subside,

whence welcoming return to employ
ment to garner green legal tender
to stave off Hard Times glad to 
cease hearing annoying renditions
qua A Christmas Carol, and visiting 
countless theaters enduring
legions of young actors and or 
actresses portray the saga of Oliver Twist
a disadvantaged indigent boy 
(given up by his mum),

and grudgingly accepted in an 
Almshouse, where his early existence
mirrored unfair cruelty, whereat 
Master of the deprived ladelled 
thin gruel only one ration, a worse 
perdition than death, this measly diet 
lacked minimal nutrition, The Battle of Life.

This American Notes a disproportionate
concentration to reach out to those less fortunate
particularly Thanksgiving and Xmas
which effort laudable, yet a diminution
for succor such as: triumph over adversity
sustenance, accommodations seems 
to muffle The Chimes remaining
three hundred and some odd or even days.
