I’m grateful that you oftentimes
are patient with these silly rhymes,
so Season’s Greetings I convey
in this brief couplet penned today:
As warm as August at the Isthmus
are my wishes for your Christmas!

Merry Christmas wishes to you, Bard. I really enjoy your timely poems that convey in a minimum of words what it would take others of us paragraphs to say.
