The TALES you probably never heard about

POEM – COLD DECEMBER

COLD DECEMBER

Well December is here along with winter too
So I hope no one comes down with the flu
The ground for a while will be covered with snow
And some folks may stay in more that we know
Snowmobiles will be out on the trails that I see
May no one suffer an injury by a big tree
Some may go to Florida or other warm place
While most stay here with the wind in our face
Others on a sleigh ride will sing a happy song
As the horse pulls them over the snow there along
Plum pudding is good with eggnog and gingerbread
So for these Christmas treats no one stays in bed
Seeing a wreath on the door along with mistletoe
Gets us in the Christmas spirit that we sure know
Carols will be sung as they’ve been done before
And elves will fill children’s stockings yes once more
Christmas trees are bought and decorated with presents below
So may everyone get something this we all know
Children will be out with toboggans going down the hill
And I know it will give them a really big thrill
The day after Christmas is a British holiday
Where servants get a box but they don’t have to pay
Its the season where everyone needs to be jolly
As they decorate with poinsettia and boughs of holly
Nativity scenes will be put up once again
So may no one say they are causing us pain
The three wise men came bringing gifts for the king
Lets not be a grinch and do the same thing
The winter solstice is on Dec. 21 again this year
But there will be lots of winter after that I fear.
