[hometext] => Well .... it could happen (weans = Scots word for small children)
[bodytext] => T'is the day before Christmas and Hamilton's freezing. Faces are numb and the masses are sneezing. Carols are ringing and belting out strains of tidings o' joy to the runny-nosed weans. Then down from the north, to conduct a review, comes Dancer the chancer and Lou the gnu. From a cloudburst of tinsel Sir Rudolph appears with Donner and Blitzen - the ones with big ears. ''Good people'' cried Rudolph, ''forgive my intrusion, so follow me now for a coffee infusion.'' He's a leader by nature and stature and nous, so nobody chunters - not even a mouse. In the cafe they gather the folk and the staff, the gnu's with the children - making them laugh. Coffees are served with aplomb and appeal as they wait for Sir Rudolph to deliver his spiel. ''Kind people of Hamilton - Santa's a wreck! He's new to this game of politically correct. You see - Prancer is injured so he's not in the frame, but Lou the gnu has tendered a claim. Should Santa think ''streamline'' and launch a new rage? Have a gnu on the crew - on a minimum wage? Some say he's ugly and grumpy and old. If his claim's not upheld then he'll have to be sold.'' Up jump the nippers, they've heard quite enough . .. ''JUST GIVE LOU THE JOB, COS HE'S CUDDLY BUT TOUGH!'' So right there and then it came to fruition that the Hamilton children had swung the decision. He holds his head high and puffs out his chest, a champion to children, a gnu to the rest. ''Come Rudolph, come Donner, come Blitzen, come Dancer! The weans make the rules, and you just heard their answer!''

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
