Hot For Christmas 2018

The sun shines down On old Adelaide town With the only thoughts of snow Are on the Christmas TV shows For we have 40 degrees And look for our air conditioner - please I remember those Christmas Days That in my memory will stay Of wrapped presents and such joy When fun and Santa we all enjoy And the Australian Sun Added to our enjoyment for everyone We sing jingle bells with no snow sleigh When ‘Let it snow’ is not our way Santa’s red face is not from being jolly Look out on Christmas Eve as across the sky Santa’s sleigh is pulled by six white boomers in his Australian fly But our Sun and fun is for all With family gathered at Santa’s call No snow or darkness for us will be The Southern Continent’s heat will ours you see And we all remember our Hot Christmas’ When joy and happiness was for all of us. © Paul Warren Poetry
