 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.

    The best kind of holiday gifts, the ones that bring joy to our hearts. Beautiful Q, Gillena.

    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.

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