Red Banner, No Quarter
Early on a cold March morning a handful of men took a stand in the year of eighteen thirty six when a sabre drew a line in the sand it was victory or death for the valiant few outnumbered and out-gunned surrender and be spared an ultimatum they knew with a cannon shot by Travis it was shunned even as the day was...

It doesn’t happen everyday Through perilous weather, flies Santa’s sleigh Reflecting in the Winter sun Are its legs, in gunmetal grey Yet as Christmas Eve turns to Morning Falling behind red-silk and cotton Among the frost One’s mind is lost And all else is forgotten The children play with what was brought Without as much as a second thought From where these marvellous gifts came Or in...

Ever since I left you the sky has been too narrow and the light too heavy and I inhabit the flatlands like an exile, dreaming of the Blood of Christ mountains and mesquite. The scent of silver sage is the perfume you wore the day you seduced me as I wandered your streets with my soul still echoing from canyon walls, and the hush hadn’t yet left...

Written in Santa Maria della Vittoria
The feast, it happened, of Saints Peter and Paul. I’d called in early, for a final look at Saint Teresa in her cosy nook, before the tourists made a shopping mall of this delightful church. My plans on stall (for Mass was under way), I soon forsook my statue contemplation, since the hook the sermon dangled caught me in its thrall. Those two...

Santa sang as he approached the streets. Couldn't wait to give out some treats. From the window, he looked East. He saw there was a feast. Rode back and had all the sweets. Frosty got so bored inside on a Monday. He came out and walked along the way. He had put on new glasses. Stood beside a campfire outside the classes. He cried...

An old new year wish
As my limbs grow feeble and now wobble, My old wish every new year, a manna, Easily reached by my legs that hobble. Brought to me like in the sacks of Santa. Though, no work deserves no pay as they say, But my muscles are just too weak to toil, Many more years, I wish my mind to stay. Let not hunger...

Rudolph and Santa, two jolly good friends, On their own friendship, so much depends. One day, they both fought, 'Cause someone stole what they'd bought But soon, they were able to make amends. Later that day, they caught the thief, But learning he'd sold their goods caused them grief. They then informed the police, Who gave them ten Pounds apiece. That their kind...

Christmas Waves of Joy
Beneath the palm trees, Santa sighed, forlorn, His sleigh stuck fast, his reindeer worn and still. The Florida sun rose bright that Christmas morn, A far cry from the frosty North Pole's chill. The elves devised a clever, timely scheme: They called on dolphins to replace the sleigh. With flippers strong, they swam like in a dream, And Santa laughed, "We'll save...

Santa has a wife and a son
I never knew Santa Claus had a wife, until I saw her photo on his shelf. Seems he leads a cozy family life For the joy he spreads goes beyond himself. And who would guess that Santa has a child? Perhaps that's why he gives with such delight. With children's faces, radiant and wild, Reflect his own child's joy on Christmas night. His...

Rudolph’s Broken Leg
On just a small rehearsal flight Reindeer Rudolph gave us a fright He took a tumble and when he fell He broke a leg, The boss we must tell Oh how shall we fix this problem Normally we’d go without him But this year it is going to storm And snow will be coming, it’s not warm But Santa...
