Robert Pettit Poet Rhyme

Allan Sherman's Twelve Days of Christmas

The late Allan Sherman conveyed a Christmas wish,
even though by birth, the man was Jewish.
Before the Christmas season of 1963,
he released another nice little ditty.
I had to consider this one “cute” if not “pretty”.
This late creative genius never ceased to amaze.
He was aware the holiday season lasts for twelve days.
Allan recorded a “Twelve Days of Christmas” parody.
This helped to boost his burgeoning popularity.
Even though Mr. Sherman is now gone,
his recordings will be carried on and on.
