Christmas is quiet: not much to do
Sending no cards
Cooking a minimal lunch for two
Strictly no carbs
Sensible serving of soup - a light
Meal in a cup
Lifelong avoidance of all that might
Fatten them up
Brother and sister, the oddest pair
Stubborn like weeds
Pushing a hundred - and still they're scared
Silly of sweets
Gingerbread houses, peppermint swirls
Cinnamon scrolls
Crush them to crumbs and rescue the world
Feed them to crows
Deep in the forest filling with crisp
Snow to the brim
Next to the peephole in faded script:
H. & G. Grimm
Hansel and Gretel by Kim Toohey
