A Children's Christmas
UUUUF…the mailman taps on the door,
Plop, Plop as the cards drop on the floor
roooooommm runs the vacuum cleaner
Oh, there’s mighty ringing of the buzzer
Come buddies, hey, Jimmy and Bob
Here’re ribbons and boxes, get on job
Boiling oil is plashing in the pan off
Sugar is gurgling on the hot stove
On the baking tray, gravy’s dripping
Tasteful turkey is roasting
Dad is busy clicking the camera
Cleaning zooming my mom Lara
Guys are busy gurgling down beers
Baby bawls and rattles with cheers
Lilt of crooning carolers heard nearer
Santa whispering something to his deer.
Quietly rustles in Christmas at last
Music blares out with merry blast
In the hall our family gathers with joy
And Dan ready with a magic trick to enjoy.
