A Christmas tree hums with holiday magic.
The macaroon is eaten with stealthy class
While a doll sheds her plastic.
He preaches with a condescending didactic.
Yet, the songbird chirps in barely ruffled content, as
A Christmas tree hums with holiday magic
A new job should make one enthusiastic.
Instead, the letter acts as a looking glass,
While a doll sheds her plastic.
The honeyed life ages to static
Old habits have failed to surpass.
A Christmas tree hums with holiday magic.
The new self-awareness is almost academic
His words, simmering, then boiling, then a mere gas
While a doll sheds her plastic.
The secret revealed forever upsets the dynamic.
He pleads reconciliation, but alas
A Christmas tree hums with holiday magic,
While a doll sheds her plastic.
