Christmas In July

If in July the northern hemisphere Had its Christmas celebration It'd be summertime instead of winter And a most peculiar sensation But let me put you in the know About a summer Christmas time I speak from personal experience from New Zealands southern clime No snow for us, not rugged up tight No Christmas turkey roast It's way too hot for any of that We go swimming at the coast Jandals, T-shirts, sunnies and shorts Are the order of the day Strawberries, ice cream, BBQs - Can't imagine it any other way! 1 August 2022 Rhymezone

Kia Ora :) NZ'd is known to have earthquakes. When the ground underneath awakes. They make your heart race. But its a beautiful place. So we just hold on tight when it shakes!
