A Thing of Beauty

I looked upon a Christmas tree It was a thing of beauty To take it home for all to see I gladly did my duty… With shinny balls We decked the halls Gifts stacked around Upon the ground… Bright angel on the top was hung And with a garland neatly strung. I looked upon my Christmas tree It was a thing of beauty! With lots of lights all shining bright The house was oh so pretty When friends all ‘round And party bound Be of good cheer And never fear Good tidings and good cheer to come Please, just one more… a cup of rum!

Boy oh Boy Betty, are you ever in the Christmas spirit - as witness your poems here on Poetry Soup. I'm finding my way around the site - not had much time of late, and only just fund an easy way to find all those I want to read, in one place! Will try to come back here again but for now I have to go out. With the weather warmed we take advantage to get out and about whilst we can. Will get back to you and your poetry later. Ciao Denis aka Rhymer.
