Twas the weeks before Christmas

When a set of cards arrived at the house

They came from a charity

Neatly addressed to my spouse

With his monthly donations

They thought they would share

How much they appreciated

His money and care

There were hopes for “Delights this holiday season”

And talk of “Joy – Let it Snow”

A salutation of “Season’s Greetings”

And a wish “World peace” will grow

But, in all the cards received that day

Designed and offered with respect

Merry Christmas was noticeably absent

Most likely stamped “politically incorrect”

So, hell bent on bucking the system

That’s determined to change language, tradition and views

I’m sending my message loud and clear today

A MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!
