29th December 2025

 


jigsaw night

why is it always the last piece

that goes missing?

Cans't thou explain why thou art so lazy

when t'would be so easy to live life to the full 

thy brain will dim and memory turn hazy

whilst all thy great potential turns to dull. 

Thou makes some effort, surely, as I see

thee maketh diet'ry choices for the good

and taking exercise to make thy limbs free

though thy festive choices thicked up thy blood.

I beg thee, stop consumption of this good cheer

like sweet mince pies and sliced-up festive cake

and as the calendar flips to a new year

a better resolution shouldst thou make.

 Though shouldst treat thy body as it were a temple

 and dally as the virgin whores assemble
