Choosing STEM Subjects
Christmas tree
Magic and magnificent
a pine tree of significance
enters my home
where I am never alone
the wine glass is full as we dine
I pull and pull
colourful decorations
red, green and blue
appear on my golden Christmas tree.
Magic and magnificent
Christmas jumper taken
from the bunker
I am no drummer
but enjoy the noise, toys, wonder and colour
of my golden Christmas tree.
Magic and magnificent
the children dance
write letters to Santa Claus in the chance
gifts, surprises big and small
short and tall
may appear under
my golden Christmas tree.
Magic and magnificent
trumpets, music boxes, angels
toy soldiers and dancing ballerina do appear year after year
on my golden Christmas tree.
Magic and magnificent
stories are told
smiles are shared
as the youngest child glides
placing the bright shining star
on my golden Christmas tree.

Face-mask
Face-mask
When I was a boy
I watched the great western movies
We gathered on the streets
Wondering who we would meet
Gun and caps in hand
The person wearing the face mask was the villain
Now I am a man
I am living the movie
The streets are empty
Twenty twenty, twenty one
Safety first, social distance and washing hands
The person wearing the face mask is now the hero.
