A Jalapeño Christmas

It was a Jalapeño Christmas all over the world
because winter had not unfurled
her snow white cloak
that shivered every bloke
and December constellations were hidden
behind butterfly-shaped bruise colored clouds.

It was a Jalapeño Christmas
and chocolate Capricorn elves
were melting into the indigo pools of dawn.

It was a Jalapeño Christmas all over the world,
it was too warm to wear even the coolest hoodie
and iced coffee
was transformed into steaming
venti cups of cafe mocha.

It was a Jalapeño Christmas,
in the twilight
a rainbow of light
across reams of poetry
that ask questions
about the effect of global warming
on Lake Carl Blackwell
or why George Washington's wooden dentures
were sprouting leaves.

It was a Jalapeño Christmas all over the world,
in Washington the president's caregiver complained
or was it proclaimed
that zombies had stolen the presidential cane and unofficial dog walker.

It was a Jalapeño Christmas
and the spirit of the season
was wrapped in brightly colored packages
by the sister and aunt
of a Congressman or Representative
who abused the trust
of their constituents
by doubting the fact
of global warming.

It was a Jalapeño Christmas
and all over the world survivors
were surviving
while on writing.com
bloggers were blogging about surviving.

It was a Jalapeño Christmas
and no one on Earth
had to worry about freezing.
