James Fraser Poet Limerick

Diluted To Polluted

Christmas Day will never be the same
Whilst companies who will only think gain
         It's charms now diluted
         Commercially polluted 
Frankly, the fat cats are solely to blame

Audrey Haick November 19, 2010 at 2:51 PM LOL.. A perfect entry for Carolyn's "Commercialized Humor Contest", James. The bottom line is always greed. With a little foresight maybe they'll remember that cliche, "You will reap what you sow". Love, Audrey

David Smalling November 18, 2010 at 8:15 AM Then let us not fed them our scraps ... but grow the maggots for our own instead, James. Thanks for this, for poetry must have a social commentary pointing to a poet's conscience. One love
