A skip for all occasions Crispy, crunchy and white crippling snow ? Boiling and binding boots mask the pain in his toe For ice and frozen water it certainly is not... But broken glass underfoot through the sole – that has rot Another displacement with dire pins and needles … From the floor to standing, is a painful upheaval With not a festive party or meal in sight – for sure Just the damp and cold air – the still, outdoors. A package ? tightly wrapped, is within his weary sight.. An unusual and exciting surprise - will I fight ? Just this iron and slippery skip wall and down depth, The only obstacle between him starving and remaining kempt Tis out of date - but only by some days, A dented plastic triangle morcel, and fresh-ish, he prays, A processed turkey, cranberry and stuffing delight, This sandwich is the only comparable tradition for him tonight When inside the skip it harbours and shelters from the wind He settles down now and insulates with what others have binned On this seasonal night, families will be getting warm and comfort-able But he has many xmas memories that terrify and are un-palatable.. But still .... Boxing Day appears with a fresh and stubborn hope People will awake indoors, hungover - but warm and bespoke, And.... many little children will observe that tradition and adopt ? But our man is pronounced dead …. as his un festive heartbeat has stopped A Hoo Har Seasonal Song or Poem - Merry Christmas one and all
