Carolers

Lacy snow crystals like a cozy duvet Cover the ground in winter splendor, I hear the Christmas carols as they play On my front lawn, carolers; I will render Hot chocolate from a local vendor. written December 11, 2021 especially for "Winter Quintain" poetry contest sponsored by Francine Roberts

Thanks, Caren. I love good hot chocolate when it's cold outside, so I think they do, too!

Thanks, Tom. Have a cup of hot chocolate on me. Then, burst out in a Christmas carol. Will do good for your soul!

I’m a wassailer from way back but my wassailing days are over. No one ever offered me hot chocolate but I’ve had many a shot and many a beer. This takes me back.

Thanks so much, Voodoo Child. Give it a go this season. The hot chocolate alone is worth it!
