Good News
Good news
is
so very, very good
it warms the soul
and pleases the heart
unless of course
someone decides
to spoil it
bringing into question
your spiralling happiness
by reducing the news
to merely okay
to what’s the fuss
although not entirely ruined
your joy
on receiving this news
has been reigned in
curtailed
how tragic
it must be
to be that person
who tells the child
that Father Christmas
does not enjoy
dropping off
your presents.
