Miro begins his Xmas Eve
Ripping into Xmas presents
With motorised action-figure arm
And breathless intensity.

Later, he giggles with Archie,
Heads together, laughing in fits,
As they play with trains and push each other around in the pushcar.

Finally, it's time for Xmas Eve dinner at Ayden's
Where, plum-tuckered out, the boys play, then collapse
In the gentle glow and soothing tones of Thomas on TV.
