WARM TIDINGS

By Katelyn Sack

Virginia, will you ask again this year
Whether melting ice-caps scare his deer?
Ice-water never was so warm
As amid the mighty powers’ swarm.
But children in Russia and Timbuktu
Will get their Christmas presents, too;
And sweet lead paint will not compete
With family, good cheer, and meat;
And submerged futures and frozen hearts
Break free along with elfin workshop parts.
