Remember the big hot bulbs
we clipped on our
Christmas tree in those
long ago years?
Unlike today they were hot
to the touch - & prolly
started many a fire
as if anyone lived
to tell the tale
But far fewer fires
than the candles of old
that burned with one hot color
Unlike the big hot light
bulbs in primary colors
that cooked the dead
evergreen while we
drank our eggnog

Remember the big hot bulbs we clipped on our Christmas trees long ago?
They were hot to the touch - & prolly started many a fire
But far fewer fires than the candles of old that burned with one hot color
Unlike the big hot light bulbs in primary colors that cooked the dead evergreen while we drank our eggnog and played with our presents
