21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 136

 

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat

I can’t wait till Christmas to eat some of that

Coz I’m on the Atkins diet and that’s a fact

I just hope that I don’t have a heart attack

COUNTDOWN TO CHRISTMAS

 When Jack Frost is abroad

And the Thanksgiving snow falls

When we hear the first sleigh bell’s ring

Christmas isn’t far away at all

So make those lists and join the throng

Of happy shoppers down at the mall

THE JINGLE OF SLEIGH BELLS

 

The Jingle of sleigh bells, herald

His coming on Christmas Eve

When Santa Claus takes the time

To fill our stocking and I believe

That Santa Claus thinks sincerely

It’s better to give than to receive

YULETIDE GATHERING

 

On the oak and iron studded door

There hung a wreath of yuletide

That was so pleasing to the eye

It seemed to welcome you inside

 

The hallway was lit with candles

Of every shape, size and hue

And tasteful Christmas decorations

Seemed to be constantly in view

 

Down the entire length of the stairs

Entwining the polished mahogany

Garlands of holly and evergreen

Filled the scene most sumptuously

 

The drawing room was minimalist

Each decoration chosen with care

The focal point was the mantelpiece

And the little stocking hanging there

 

In the corner stood a mighty tree

Festively decked in all its glory

But their was more to the gathering

Than just the Christmas story

 

Every face bore a relaxed smile

Such was the festive atmosphere

And so proud was the hostess

But not just for the festive cheer

 

For this was the first Christmas

For their newborn son and heir

And so proud was the mother

Of her newborn son so fair

IT’S CHRISTMAS TIME AGAIN

 

It’s Christmas time again

When the spirit is beautiful

When every pocket is empty

But every heart is full

CHRISTMAS IS CANCELLED

 

There's no Christmas this year

There will be no Christmas cheer

For Santa checked the naughty list

And found himself a naughty miss

Then picked her up in his sleigh

And then flew her off to St Tropez

CHRISTMAS GETAWAY

 

The sleigh is empty

The list is ticked

It’s back to base

Double quick

 

Mrs. Claus is waiting

To greet me

Fidgeting around

Quite excitedly

 

The bags are packed

And in the sleigh

We’re off to Florida

For a holiday
