Holly Here Holly There

Holly here and holly there! Christmas is floating in the air!
Ho ho ho and hee hee hee! We are merry, us darling three!
Don’t you think that song is a bit arrogant? Mama asked.
They laughed and giggled and gave her a drink of their flask.

Holly here and holly there! Mama wants to calm us you see!
We are happy though with a ho ho ho and a hee hee hee.
And now mama is asleep, for a teetotaler she will always be.
The trio of elves were on a mission to bring the world glee.

I am singing but not dancing - too much arthritis in my ankles.

This is a really cute poem, Caren. I suspect the elves succeeded after Mama was asleep (or passed out).
