A Christmas Memory

A Christmas Memory

As I awoke on Christmas morn
snow was falling softly to the ground
Evergreens had turned white over night
and Santa had called to my delight
On the road outside a donkey lay
belly bloated hooves in the air
a cross upon it's back
And where it lay the snow turned red
The source a gaping wound in it's head
It was then I realised that he was dead
Hit by a car perhaps
or maybe a truck?.
