Awkward Gifts...

That heavy beat of silence,
When someone dares to ask:
'What do you want for Christmas?'
It's an awkward, must-do task.

No one wants to ask for lots,
So how far should one go?
When someone asks this to your face,
Just take it rather slow.

My usual answer? 'I don't mind.'
Unless it's Mum or Dad...
Or even 'Oh you don't have to...'
Like I am feeling bad.

Everyone loves gifts and cheer,
But buying them's a strain,
And asking what they want this year,
Goodness, what a pain!

Carol Singers

#adventchallenge. The carol singers come to the door. Singing a song they sounded poor. I don't think they knew the words. I'd rather of listened to skwalking birds.

#adventchallenge. I see you in the garden. Sitting in the tree. But there is a problem. The cat is here with me. Your red breast so bright. Your not hard to spot. Don't let the cat too close.

#AdventChallenge Currenty crap, Smell good. It's a trap. Falsely luring, Never trust, There's no curing. Powdery fluff, I've had one bite- More than enough.

#adventchallenge A spiked lattice of emerald green, Dotted elegantly across the scene. Embellished with juicy, crimson gems, Sprouting from a prickled stem.
