Word Thingys: Salome Strangelove
Christmas is about recollecting your people
Rejoining your herd
The romantics, the misfits, the divas and nerds
Making time, taking time, being close, having fun
Christmas is about recollecting them all, every one.
The Dasher who always just wants to go faster
The Dancer who fights for a chance
The Prancer who’s forever seeking an answer
The Vixen with that bedroom glance
The Comet who chases the stars and their glory
The Cupid who’s sobbing a new heartbroke story
The Donner who’s in it for fortune and honor
The Blitzen who just wants to make it with Vixen
And at the center of every show
That look-at-me Rudolph who can’t wait to glow
Yes, Christmas is about recollecting your people
Rejoining your herd
The artists, the poets, the starving songbirds
Making time, taking time, forgiving forgetting
Christmas is all about recollecting, aiding and abetting
The Dasher who always just wants to go faster
The Dancer who fights for a chance
The Prancer who’s forever seeking an answer
The Vixen with that bedroom glance
The Comet who chases the stars and their glory
The Cupid who’s sobbing a new heartbroke story
The Donner who’s in it for fortune and honor
The Blitzen who just wants to make it with Vixen
And at the center of every show
That look-at-me Rudolph who can’t wait to glow
And thank Santa it’s only once a year
Because it can get exhausting, dear
But, Christmas is about recollecting your people
Rejoining your herd
To celebrate the mess and the theater of all the absurd.
