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
