It taps

It taps in the dark

Its here to remind you

That the season of cold doom is upon us

With songs

With songs, gifts, and food

We dance away the rapping reminder

We dance and sing in a denial of mortality

Let us feast

Let us cheer

Let us be merry

As we bury the dead

Goodbye to the love

and the fiery life

We won’t forget but we’ll dance away…
