Poem – Chewing Dates

Three weeks to Christmas.
Pacman chews through the months
With only one to go
Before game over
For 2015
Plunging survivors
To the next Janus Level
Halloween awaits
At the end
To yell boo
Before Bonfire night
Burns beacon fires
To light Saint Nick’s Way
To Auld Lang’s Sine
"Too soon to start writing cards"
We say right up to it’s too late
As the feeding frenzy starts
And Taxman sharpens his talons
Desperate King Canute
Trick Or treaters
Turn Our clocks back
Now we are running out of year
And daylight saving time
As office party flash the cash mobs
Roam the bars
For one last quick fix
Celebration
A wake for 2015
Best seen
Before the new year starts
With hangover
Hair Of The Dog
All downhill from here
Says Pacman
With a belch
As he starts munching 2016 too.

@arthurchappell We also have central gas heater, but we have one fireplace on the lower floor of the house.
