PARANG AGAIN
To wit and with humour plenty,
The bard pens his parang merry,
A song of Christmas,
Caribbean borne, alas
No snow,
But angels a plenty show,
Us joy with their parang songs.
Adore him,
Gift him,
Love is borne again,
Merry the time again.

I love this! I had to look up "parang" and it makes the meaning so much more ... meaningful. Thank you for insights into a culture that I admire but don't know well, and, in particular, for the last line, "Merry the time again". Your verse is prayer and praise.

ReplyDeleteA joyful festive quadrille, Gillena! I could do with a Caribbean Christmas with no snow and plenty of angels.
