Notes About The Poem

Christmas Jingles 6 - Jittery Glittery Tree

Jittery glittery tree
A mouse ran up the Christmas tree
Scaring the life from the fairy
Cat did too, with dog in pursuit 
'Twas a fiasco and quite hairy.

Fairy's heart raced seeing the chase 
The dog bit the cat on the bum
The tree lights flashed, the tree it crashed
And cat had the mouse in a scrum.

Poor fairy flew off, nerves were shot 
It wasn't how a Christmas should be
She cared not a jot for this lot
Her intention was to seek peace.

The lady of the house rushed in
To find what was making the din
Kids lovin’ home movie herein 
Were sent to bed with a warnin'

Mother had to clear up the mess
While dad took the cat to the vet
Mouse ran away from the affray
Mice who have laughed last, laugh best.

Alexis Y. December 7, 2020 at 11:35 AM WoW! Belle, I could just picture the whole scene ( minus the fairy, but who knows?)with the dog and cat doing a high speed chase. The poor fairy didn't what to do. Good rhymes and content. Truly, I enjoyed the read:-) Alexis Beryl Edmonds December 7, 2020 at 11:55 AM Thank you Alexis, this is in memory of my sisters and me, we were always making a mess of the Christmas tree, a nightmare were us eldest three. All the best Belle :-)
