Cinnamon
By Daniel Akerele
"I wrote this last Christmas for someone who loves cinnamon flavoured hot chocolate.
It was a gift that ended being somewhat topical."
Hot chocolate was the remedy
As we huddle with the duvet
And sit to watch the telly
You curl up by the heater
I'm an inch away, a millimetre
Peeling off my socks
While the PM talks
The pandemic he says
Has brought us to wits end
The company we keep
Runs far too deep
Our presence on the streets
Brought on a press release:
“Christmas is cancelled
Tell all of your friends
No more turkeys
But I’ll have my dividends”
