Notes About The Poem

Folly

Tis the season to be folly
fa la la la fa, la la la fa 

Court jesters and gay princes dancing
kissing their desires away in Palaces of derision
sinners around, they abound
Jesus will punish them on and all

Tis the season to be folly
fa la la la fa, la la la fa 

Gay smiles and transgender hugs
all the children dancing
so happy and snug
do no harm, all religion doth sing

Tis the season to be folly
fa la la la fa, la la la fa 

Hateful preachers
all drowned in the punch
now the reindeer and elf's
have more food for their lunch

Tis the season to be folly
fa la la la fa, la la la fa 

The Greeks were gay so long ago
they taught us to be open
any goat goes
to the harem of love

do no harm
love all
Abu Nuwas sips his wine
in his tower of Babel so tall

Tis the season to be folly
fa la la la fa, la la la fa

Carolyn Devonshire November 21, 2018 at 5:23 AM Quite a commentary on the state of world affairs, Arthur. Some see it as folly, but few find it jolly. Clever! Hugs, Carolyn
