My Epping Farm Christmas

Picture
Christmas coming, 
Like warm water running,  
Moving slowly, calm, tranquil.
Epping Farm people,
From the youngest to the oldest,
Waiting with excitement for Christmas to arrive.
 
New clothes made, yards swept clean,
Furniture dusted, floors shine red,
Curtains hung, cobwebs removed.  
Embrioded tablecloth, silver cutleries,
China dishes,

And clear drinking glasses.

Tie Leaf and gizzada.
Breadfruit, chocolate tea,
Saltfish and ackee.
 
Green bananas, plantains,
Curried goat, rice and peas,
Chicken stew, turnip greens,
Jerk pork, and yellow yam.
 
Soda pops, sorrel drink,
Red Stripe beer, and Dragon Stout
Starlights, firecrackers,
Christmas cards and pictures from abroad.
 
Friends, family,
Conversations, and laughter, 
Sunday School, Church, stories told,
An Epping Farm Christmas,
You greet me with love.
