Jingle Bells

Jingle Bells 

by 

Sean Bracken

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Plastic Jesus sleeping

Among the people seeking

More gaudy Yuletide trinkets

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

Plastic Mother Mary

Alongside a Christmas Fairy  

Below a clockwork Santa Claus

Suspended from high ceiling 

Towed by flashing reindeer

Enhance the season’s cheer

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

While all the bargain hunters 

Worn out by all the fussing

And tired from all the rushing

To the sound of  singers singing

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

The tills are all a ringing

The stockings still need filling

Rejoice, rejoice

Plastic Jesus Weeping
