Betwixtmas
A Poem About The Time Between Christmas and New Year
Fiona mentioned the “Betwixtmas” for the time between Christmas and New Year and that seemed an opportune moment for a fun poem.
Music will be a cover of Chuck Berry's "Run Run Rudolph" by Jay Shepard which you can buy below.

Christmas Day Then Boxing Day
Then Where The Heck Are We Now?
It’s Five Days Til New Years Day
And Where Are We I Don’t Know
🌲⛄🎄
Timewise We Are In A Spin
Christmas Has Gone , No New Year
For A While Til It Comes In
Where am I? I just can’t see
🌲⛄🎄
We are now In Betwixtmas
And Yes There Is No Escape
Til New Year Rings In Alas
We’re stuck in this sorry state
Betwixtmas, Betwixtmas NO!!
Betwixtmas, Betwixtmas GO!!

A System That Isn’t Working Challenge Winners
Systems promise order. They organize behavior, distribute opportunity, and suggest that if everyone follows the rules, things will work. The entries in A System That Isn’t Working look closely at what happens when that promise begins to slip.
