'And What Of Me?'
Hair of tinsel
a nose like Santa
and greying beard to match
arthritic limbs, spindle and spruce
red, green and gaudily silver
obsolescent. Of little use
I am Christmas decoration
Tired, broken and slightly out of fashion
temporarily exciting
and secular to boot
Annual. Perennial. Commercially obtainable
a necessary evil
like baubles
A spent fuse, a flickering fairy light, out of my box, for a short festive season
antiquated, perfumed with booze
and synonymous with tedium
I am Christmas decoration.
