A Dorchester Christmas

A Dorchester Christmas 

Triple deckers decked in lights
Mostly colors, some just white
Christmas trees all dressed in tinsel 
Glow at night though curtain windows 

Kids with shovels dot the streets
Digging out from Christmas Eve
Some with smiles, some with frowns
All can’t wait to run back home

In our clan was seven kids
We shared gifts like Irish twins 
Sisters got their stereo
Brothers played their pool table

On Christmas Day in Dorchester
Some gifts came from Globe Santa
Three sisters and four brothers 
We had less and more than others
