Christmas Cheer

Distilled in an enchanted well

a giddy tonic that cannot be capped

tapped by the year's weary sojourners

imbibed into festive minds on Christmas Eve

the bubbly, fizzing spring wells up in merry hearts

an oxidated stream surges to their brains

a chemical reaction explodes in the nerve endings

Red, rosettes spout onto warmed cheeks

Bursts of laughter trickle through voice boxes

Glittering twinkles are sprinkled from mirthful eyes

Twitching noses gush with aromatic smells;

frankincense, spicy wines, and holly twigs

In titillated ears flow streams of merry melodies

And seeps down into hopeful spirits

forming a deep reservoir of Christmas cheer

to spurt up freely throughout the next year
