Christmas Poem ~ 2014


Ding-dong, Ding-dong
(Adapted and sung to the chorus of "Carol of the Bells").





Hark, got a text
Friend request is next
Message to send
Party to attend
Christmas is here
Bringing the fear
Gain back the ten
New goals again!
Ding-dong, Ding-dong

I am now old
So I am told
All grumbling
One “seems” to hear
Nap ev’rywhere
I won’t despair
Ding dong, Ding-dong

Knees are a pain
Hips feel the rain
Not o’er the hill
Should make a will
Telling our tale
Eating my kale
Words of good cheer
A Savior is here

Merry Merry Merry Christmas
Merry Merry Merry Christmas

On, on I’ll write
Into the night
My words of praise
Not just a phase
Ding-dong, Ding-dong

Hark, how I pray
For you today
That you do know
Peace in your soul
Christmas is here
Jesus is near
To young and old
Silver or gold
Ding-dong, Ding-dong

That is my song
With joyful ring
No grumbling
Please take some time
His love divine
From Heaven’s air
To stable bare
Angels appear
Shepherds are near
A star to stare
Follow it where
Messiah lay
Promised today

Merry Merry Merry Christmas
Merry Merry Merry Christmas

…May be “mature”
In this I’m sure
Jesus my Lord
In Him, reward
He’ll be your Light
Into the night
New or old days
Anchored in the waves
Ding-dong, Ding-dong

Merry Merry Merry Christmas
Merry Merry Merry Christmas
