rumbling of thunder
lightning strikes
flashing of the sky
somber cloud
oven light flickers
batteries kick in
sufficiency the key
when the air is loud
the power of lightning
turned all into darkness
pouring down finally
the instant relief
cooler breeze
half a town
sits in darkness
again in disbelief
the year comes to a close
few more days of cheer
fill our stockings
red green and gold
color everywhere
display of lights
the hunt for presents
visible at the mall
no price too high
on the holy day
eat drink and chat
little too much
year after year
the same rituals
followed to the letter
anchored in
the collective mind
the illusion of Santa
sleigh reindeers the works
the story that never
gets old
no talk of when
or if ever will
Santa retire
dependent on the net
the grief when it fails
immediate disconnect
checking the network
every two seconds
calling the provider
on hold for an hour
in the meantime
the voice recording
are you calling about
a fault with your nbn
we made it quick and easy
login to your account
and register your fault
…online!
you and i two eggs
different upbringing
wide range of triggers
you and i two eggs
fate brought us together
to help each other grow
you and i two eggs
turned into adult beings
matured through love
you and i two eggs
unique attitude to life
moments take us apart
you and i are one
obstacles climbed
the mastery of WE
