Merry Christmas, here’s your present blame,
Cryptic apology veiled, silver ribbon,
Sorry doesn’t cut it but dusts it, glitter water
Turns to wine, mulled over but it’s not my fault,
It’s yours, ours, theirs, Many Happy Returns!
Not on the card list, but his feet upon the table,
Watches his decimal children for the first time,
Last time. 2.4, eating plum pi with Mr Jones,
Comparing weight, brave face lies and hidden surprise,
A piece of pirate gold, chocolate money sold
For plastic boxes. Plastic limbs. Plastic smiles.
Argos watch and aftershave, a close one...
“They nearly guessed, those pesky kids,
They nearly found us out.”
Re-runs like Scooby Doo, past the plant and clock,
Same old differences, irreconcilable,
A white Divorce under the starry snow,
Delayed by electric candles and tinsel pine,
Forced, contrived until the Auld Lang Sine,
“They nearly guessed” she carol sang
“They very nearly guessed”
