Christmas Poem 2019

 (To the tune of Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree)

Runnin' around on Christmas Eve

It’s the busiest day for shops

A carrot and a cookie, children will leave

In the hope that Santa stops

Fussin' over the turkey and sprouts

The stressin’ has begun

Don’t lose sight of what it’s all about

Remember to have some fun 

You will see a continental market when in town

Big wheel shining, lights are blinding

Smells combining, I’m still rhyming  

Settlin’ down on Christmas Day

With friends and family

Folks reminiscin’ so vividly 

Wishing holidays were here to stay 

You should get a fuzzy feeling when you get

This wee poem in lieu of a card

Though it’s cheaper it’s very hard 

Lyin' around on Boxing Day

That’s it for another year

Cherish moments with those you hold dear

That’s all I have to say 

(By Emma Tate)
