Country Christmas

“Country Christmas Carol”      ---  dedicated to my family

 by  Miriam  McCue (creator of flamingo art, & poetry.so far.)

We love to sing Christmas songs,
My Grandson Bubba and I.
And when we sing Country Christmas.
We almost make the angels cry.

A Merry Country Christmas
To all those great Country Folk,
And even to the City Slickers,
Who also love to drink and smoke.

We’ll take a drink for Bubba, Aunt Mike and Cousin Jim, 
And hope that this Christmas,
They’ll say a prayer and sing a hymn.

Gather round the still, 
Country People all.
 And hold up Uncle Bill
So the old coot doesn’t fall. 

A Merry Country Christmas, 
One full of country joy.
Little Willie wanted a 12 gauge,
But all he got was a toy.

oops, you know what,I came here to comment on your making a cat poem and I noticed what I wrote at the bottom here. I think I had mixed you up with another person here who says "creator of really bad poetry" as her little motto. (she is actually really good)I guess I saw "creator of" at the top that you wrote and my mind played tricks on me and I finished it off in my mind with the other lady's motto. Sorry if I confused you! LUv, Andrea ps. GEt to work on your cat poem!!!
