Paul Warren Poet Ballad

Hear the Bells

Do you hear the bells 
They are ringing with all their might
When it is Christmas time
On a hot Australian night

Do you see the jolly fellow
Whose face is as red as his suit
Who comes when the bells are calling now
For the children to wonder how

This time of the year is so magical
Even when the snow does not fall
For Christmas in Australia is always hot
We wear board shorts and flip flops

Families all gather at the beach and pool
Whilst Santa’s sleigh is pulled by boomers
Christmas in the sun
Is made for living large and having fun.

Darlene De Beaulieu December 12, 2019 at 1:29 PM Hello paul Warren, I wonder ,do you want me to send you some snow? Lucky you. We always have snow for Christmas. merry Christmas . Have a nice day my friend. Paul Warren December 14, 2019 at 1:07 AM Would you believe we have some but how they keep it cold I don't know. Adelaide has 4 days next week at 40 degrees Celsius cooling to 28 for Christmas Day. As a child I did not think it was strange for Santa to be dressed like that in the heat. One of the nuances to Irish heritage I suppose!
