RED BIKE

 

One Christmas

I got a big Red Bike

With white mudguards

All new and shiny like

 

But alas it was gone

Again, on Boxing Day

It belonged to the post office

So, the police took it away

ARE YOU WEARING BLUE TINSEL?

 

Are you wearing blue tinsel?

Tied amidst your lustrous curls

Not a festive hue and yet

You have it amidst the curls

So is it a statement or was it

The only colour you could get

RED SOCKS

 

Long red socks

And Christmas frocks

A sprig of mistletoe

That’s Christmas ho ho ho

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO YOU BOTH

 

Happy Christmas to you both

See, we did remember

Because you are so dear

Just like every year

 

We will never forget

We just wish and wish

You were still here

Just like every year

 

We will remember

And take a pause

Amidst the cheer

Just like every year

 

So, we wish you

A happy Christmas

And wipe away a tear

Just like every year

I DON'T WANT MUCH FOR CHRISTMAS

 

I don't want much for Christmas

What I want is quite naïve

And an unrealistic expectation

I just want everybody to be happy

I know it’s a forlorn hope

But miracles do happen at Christmas

THROUGHOUT THE YULETIDE SEASON

 

Throughout the yuletide season

In the light of the fireside glow

Christmas garlands are strung

Of Holly, Ivy, and Mistletoe

ON CHRISTMAS EVE, A NUTCRACKER

 

On Christmas Eve, a nutcracker

Is turned into a handsome Prince,

Clara saves him from the Mouse King

And go to the land of sweets and mints

There they dance around for a bit

Before the Prince takes Clara as his belle

And they marry and that’s The End

And that is the nutcracker in a nutshell
