Hi everyone and welcome to another Haiku Hope as part of the COPE campaign.
This time I thought I’d write about the limbo we’re all experiencing right now (the same as every year). The ‘Christmas gooch’ is the time between Christmas and new year where you suddenly develop a temporary style of dementia, not knowing what day it is, when life will be normal again, or what you’re supposed to be doing. I usually lose something important around this time too – jays, documents, my marbles…all gone missing during the gooch.
This haiku is dedicated to the only time of year when we lose our sense of knowing, and couldn’t give a shite.

The gooch
What day is it now?
I guess it must be Sunday.
Even Spar is closed.

Remember if you need more distractions then there are more jokes on my Hold Humour page, as well as haikus on Haiku Hope, awful poems on Crap Poems and odd language in Weird Words. I also have a page dedicated to stress hacks and other ideas to try if you need a distraction within the COPE campaign section of this website.
Also, on a more serious note, I understand that Christmas isn’t fun, or enjoyable for everyone. If you’re struggling with your mental health there’s a list of places you can call (including during the holidays) for help, signposting and to be heard on my mental health and suicide prevention support lines page.
Thanks for visiting and have a bloody amazing christmas gooch! 🌲
