Diversions in Toyland ’22

Nog for the guests on red felt tablecloth
sprigs of ilex about the parlour
candle carousel spins in first gear

Upstairs, the youngsters’ ears to the floor
the merry murmur hums through
under the sights and songs given to distract

No Manse Messac invasion tonight
stay put and let the diversions work
after all, this is your house
