Christmastime Again

Where I come from It’s dark and quiet Eleven months of the year Then one fine day Everything changes All of a sudden It’s bright and snowing And I come to life After a long hibernation I love to see my old friend Elf sitting on the shelf Right next to a lit-up tree He never says much I don’t even know if he has a name He just wears his big silly grin Probably happy to see me I have another friend A human boy who Comes to visit me Funny thing… Every single time There’s a series of Sudden snowstorms He brings his eyeball Really close to me Scares me a little But I don’t let on I grin and bear it I just stay very quiet Then he moves on Soon enough the time rolls Around again for hibernation I can always tell it’s coming It’s shortly after mad chaos The house at full capacity There’s music and a huge feast Followed by calling out names And giving of glittery boxes Shouts of joy by young and old Singing dancing till all hours I get so tired just watching them That I’m ready for a good long sleep Until next December rolls around Submitted on November 19, 2019 for contest STUCK IN A CHRISTMAS GLOBE sponsored by BOBBY MAY - RANKED 2ND
