Since it was all about a son
I ask my son now that he doesn’t really believe in everything
what’s Christmas all about then? I mean what does it mean to you?
there is still a hole in the roof to follow a star through
but we have just had the boiler fixed
warm and sleepy he stretches out his body
and his answer er er er cold but warm
because you wear
I don’t mean just you
but you wear
way too many layers of clothing
I ask him does that make you just right
or too warm then
too warm he says assertively
half asleep and fully a wise man
