Abeyance
It's often true that some of us
might drift into a Christmas funk
where even the slightest winter fuss
will silence vow me like a monk
and see me soon to chambers retreat
to hear some choir take the air,
by radio, or app discrete,
and in this way combat despair.
There...there...some bygone jingles play
like they did in Yules of yore
as longer nights abridged the day
to bring the peace we're looking for;
a silent night...a holy night...
...with angel song to ease our plight.

Listen, that title gave me brain chub.
You are always the master of form. You need to give lessons on meter and meaning, for reals.
Enjoy your state of inertia.

Oh! Ooohh! Betty! You are sublimity incarnate with your brain chubs!
Here you gift unto me the perfect synonym for epiphany, and just in time for the holidays!
Speaking of titularity, have I ever mentioned how much I enjoy a good B-29 reference?
Which leads me to suggesting that your avatar armor ought to be upgraded with angel wings (or bat wings) and leased to the Air Force for fuselage art. I understand that defense contractors really rake it in.
And a wall sized oil painting of course (for me). Surely it will assist in warding away some cabin fevers.
But I will be ungracious if I fail to thank you for giving me a valid reason for typing out the word "titularity" which forthwith brain-chubs me into the understanding that titularity is like the word "hilarity", but with a bosom affixed to the front end. I bet Benny Hill is smirking in his grave.
Seriously though, it's good to read your work, I just hope that you recover quickly:)

I wonders if anyone would get it. Thank you…. I mean it. You are a fellow brain-chubber and I appreciate the appreciation of the nuance.
Hey… you’re a badass. Thank you for also being kind.

Dear MS,
That was lovely. I really enjoyed the nod to being in a holiday funk but coming out of it via music and memories. Wishing you a lovely Christmas and a healthy new year. H🌷

For about four days I devote myself to our local classical station (KQAC), which switches to the best old Christmas music ever.
My favorite is..."all you that are good fellows" by David Fallis (tenor)
at The Toronto Consort. Old English stuff. Very cool, and infinitely better than Granny being run over by reindeer, which a dude can only hear so many times before cracking like a raw egg.
Mostly eighteenth century instrumental and cathedral stuff.
Yes! Downright therapeutic!
Thanks for chiming in, and a very Merry Christmas and New Year to you too!
