Hi J.D. - One of the best soul records ever. It definitely lifts your festive spirits. I will have to get the sax music and give it a try.
Merry (Soul) Christmas. Tom ?

This has me in a celebrating mood, So good I do not know what to say. I love the music that you set this to, (Move on up, Curtis Mayfield). that song is on my playlist, I listen to it several times a day. Great horns, can you play along with it on your horn Tom?
Merry (soul) Christmas, JD.

Thanks Martin I'm really glad you liked it. Sorry mate, struggling to concentrate on reply, I'm afraid we've all come down with Covid for Christmas and it's wiped me out a bit.

Thank you so much for this. I felt like you read some of my thoughts when creating this poem. The generalisations, stigma, and the questions people really need to contemplate before opening their months.

Oo-er, MC. Fittingly worrying. I take a perverse pleasure that those who seem most guilty of adopting a casual attitude to protecting themselves and others will be paying off Rishi Sunak’s loan from the future long after you and I are no more.

I loved this!!!
I imagined " I walk along the cliff:
Sheer drop upon the windward side," as like, the colon being the end of the line and then a sheer drop!
The ending was beautiful, too. ?

This is delightfully puzzling. Is it dark or light. Perhaps both. Chiaroscuro on a moving Christmas card.

Perhaps Saturnalia would be a good rebranding name for some public-private entity (Post Office, London Assembly cafeteria?) It would cheer everyone up.
Good poem, John. I do remember Black Eye Friday, though not personally.

In truth, Trevor and Julie, they were never like that when I was working. It doesn’t have the same Saturnalian attraction these days when Our Gert and I pop out to the Garden Centre for the OAP’s Christmas treat.

Thanks you for liking this Tony, Kevin Stephen and Stephen.
That was quite disconcerting and spectacular Graham. The nearest I got to that was learning to swim at 28 and then diving from a top board. Luckily there was water in the pool, or rather pool in the water. I'm glad you described the poem in that way!
