The Christmas Card Apology

Introduction

This has been written as a demonstration of how I write a villanelle and the video is included in this article. It is ten minutes and was recorded on my phone so apologies for the quality.

I've included Cliff's "Mistletoe and Wine" cos it's Christmas

If I Sent You A Christmas Card

And Then You Never Sent Me One

Please, Please Don't Treat Yourself Too Hard

⛄🎄⛄

Life Can Be Very, Very Hard

And Yes, We Need To Have Some Fun

If I Sent You A Christmas Card

⛄🎄⛄

Sometimes We Can Get Very Bored

And The Last Post, It Has Now Gone

Please, Please Don't Treat Yourself Too Hard

⛄🎄⛄

It Sounds Like A Broken Record

Sometimes You Feel So Badly Done

If I Sent You A Christmas Card

⛄🎄⛄

But You Know We'll Always Be Friends

And You Know We'll Never Be Done

Please, Please Don't Treat Yourself Too Hard

⛄🎄⛄

Glad I Sent You A Christmas Card

So Next Year You Can Send Me One

If I Sent You A Christmas Card

Please, Please Don't Treat Yourself Too Hard
