Sometimes a Candy Cane

is not just a Candy Cane.

–

HO HO HO is backwards.

–

What can you think of that’s snowy white

& feels like a weather bomb?

–

What’s an empty, limp stocking

which miraculously gets filled?

–

The colour red means stop —

green means go.

–

What’s a triangular fir tree

next to  an open hearth —

and where does that chimney go anyway?

–

A Christmas Wreath, a broken circle, represents a fertilized egg.

–

A baby in a manger —

Jesus was born on the wrong side of the tracks.
