A DIFFERENT BOXING DAY

" A DIFFERENT BOXING DAY "       TIM WILLIAMS   26TH. DECEMBER 2014

WIND AND RAIN COMBINE, JOIN FORCES
DANCING LIKE CIRCUS ACROBATS TOGETHER
HAND IN HAND SENDING CRAZY CLOWNS SPINNING
LIKE TOPS DOWN THE WEST WALIAN BEACH
A DAY, A BOXING DAY AT THAT, A DAY TO
BARRACADE YOURSELF BEHIND THE NET CURTAINS
OR WINDSCREEN WIPERS AND STEAMED WINDOWS
NOT TO TAKE ON THE ELEMENTS DUFFLED AND DOFFED

A DIFFERENT KIND OF BOXING DAY, NEW STROKES,
REMOVAL OF COBWEBS OF YESTERDAY'S CHRISTMAS DAY
SLIPPERED, SLEEPY, SLUMBERED, T.V. TURKEY HEADS,
AVOIDENCE OF THE THREATENING BUBBLE AND SQUEAK, STEAMING
ADORNED AND TITTERLATED WITH PICKLED CABBAGE, ONIONS,
CHUTNEY, PICCALILLI, AND CORRUGATED BEETROOT
RESEMBLING A TIN SHED ROOF DRIPPING A POOL OF
REDNESS INTO A HEAD SWEAT DIPPING MOTE

I SIT DOMINOED AND DOUGHNUTTED OUT
SMILING AT A FLYING NEWLY BECOATED DACHSHUND, 
A PIG IN BLANKET DOG RISES FROM THE FLOOR HELD
ONLY BY IT'S LEAD TO IT'S MISSTRES' HAND,
QUICKLY SCOOPED UP, CWTCHED AND THERE THERE'D
BACK FROM ALMOST CERTAIN HEART FAILURE, OR WRIGHT
BROTHERS STYLE DOGGY HISTORICAL FLIGHT TO WHO KNOWS WHERE,
AND YOUTUBE VIRAL FAME

CERTAINLY A DIFFERENT BOXING DAY
A DIFFERENT BOXING DAY CERTAINLY
