L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

A Little Christmas Poem

Carols chiming on the village green
Light snow adding to the atmosphere,
Bustling shoppers complete the scene
It’s easy to see the holiday is here,
With children laughing, anticipating
A midnight visit from jolly old St. Nick
In the park young folks are ice-skating,
So many activities, take your pick.
Sledding down a slope is my choice
Then, hot chocolate and a huge bonfire,
While happy carolers raise their voice
All tuckered out, I’m ready to retire.

Caren Krutsinger December 10, 2022 at 4:32 AM This reminds me of last night - I was the first one to arrive at the Christmas party by an hour and a half, by the time the others finally got there I made my escape and drove home "While happy carolers raise their voice All tuckered out, I’m ready to retire."Ha!

If there is someone there I know, I cling to them and leave as soon as I can.
