Christmas Cards
Should it happen that someday they're seeking struggling bards,
To compose verse for Hallmark's Christmas cards,
I think that I should like summarily to submit,
The following mots for consideration, TO WIT:
(1) 'Tis so nice to receive a colorful array of Christmas cards,
From kith and kin sending their warmest Noel regards.
I'm sparing you the twaddle of an annual Christmas letter,
Since I think this simple card expresses my greetings better!
(2) I pray Yule have a joyous Christmas with your relations,
And that Santa will more than meet your expectations.
'Tis the Season for Joy, never feeling sad or blue.
That'll come, dear friend, when the credit card bills are due!
(3) As you dream and reminisce by the glowing fire,
May all come to pass for which you aspire.
Tho' it has been said many ways, I can't be more sincere,
Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
(4) May your heart be filled with hope and mirth,
As you celebrate the dear Savior's birth.
May your home be filled with naught but love and joy,
As you celebrate the birthday of that special little boy!
