Ovaltine and Coal (acrostic)


Ovaltine and Coal

Children gathered, impatient for
heaven – forgiveness for mother’s
reality-show to finish
in case the presents vanish with
sugared promises of “next-year
there’ll be more than
make a houseful and
anyway, where’s the festive
spirit?”
Decoded cornfields bring
angels and demons,
yelling about letters to a dyslexic Santa.
