Julie Draper Poet Rhyme

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!

So we just hold on tight when it shakes!
