Bilingual Christmas

Buenos dias and hasta lue$o in boardrooms and strategy sessions, Where are your grateful holiday smiles bilinguals? I've given you a voice, let you in

to hear old friends tell old jokes,

Stop flinching, Drink eggnog, Hum alon,

Not carols we hear

whimpering

children too cold

to sing

on Christmas eve,

Do you see what I see

adding a dash of color

to conferences and corporate parties

one per panel or office

slight south-of-the-border seasoning

feliz wviiad and prospero ano nuevo, right?

Relax, Eat rum balls, Watch the snow,

Not twinkling lights we see but searchlights seeking illegal aliens outside our thick windows.
