Notes About The Poem

Futuristic Christmas

in 2020 and beyond-  chrismas could be different
gone the traditional    tree
you may have one of 
twisted wire
   colored LED and pipes
     maybe upside down for space
perhaps environmentally friendly trees
made with water bottles and PVC pipes
or a simple gold painted plywood tree shape
gone the traditional

santa will have a shiny silver electric car
  the reindeer retired  unwanted   not needed
     or he may have his own bright red jet
         oh and no more jolly santa
            he went on fiber super diet
                and mrs santa he dumped
 and no more down the chimney for santa
  most of your gifts will be sent by federal express
     all he will do is make a showing on christmas eve
        with empty boxes to make an impression

no more baby dolls or barbie dolls or fire engines
for kids-  they will get techno savy gadgets 
and on line data as gifts or maybe a gift card
call me old fashion I think I will keep
   the traditional for all of my life
and maybe I will give an unwanted reindeer 
                      a forever home -

Duke Beaufort November 19, 2015 at 2:34 AM A wonderful commentary. Yes, please keep the traditions alive. So, you can create quite clever satire! You have many facets. What a very, very clever person are you. So, I can now only smile and laugh.

Demetrios Trifiatis November 18, 2015 at 8:32 AM Scary but very imaginative and well composed, dear B.W.! Hope it never comes to pass and if it comes hope I will be around to see it! Haha! Love it! Good luck! Constance La France November 18, 2015 at 1:23 PM Thanks Dem for visiting , I agree it would be horrible that Christmas could be like that, I will desperately hold onto traditional
