A few lines
Before meditation
Before bathing
It is Christmas Day
Chocolate wrappers
Point to last night’s indulgence
That Raymond Hurley
Plays on the stereo
Says something also
Not that peace and goodwill
Are ever frowned upon
But today, well…
For some it is a trip to the beach
Even a dip in the sea
But for me it is the pen, the paper
The sweets, oh yes, and a pot of tea
