The First Snow Fell {the First Noel}

The first snow fell all angelic and white
We built us a fort full of snowballs to fight

The mailman rounded the corner much to his surprise
Two big fat snowballs dotted both of his eyes

The policeman was summoned all dressed up in blue
We got scared and decided we should just snowball him too

His face was beat red as he filed his report
Stomping all our snowballs and tearing down our fort

Then he led us back home had us each by the ear
Where up on the porch sat uncle Joe with a beer

The policeman told Uncle Joe he would lock us away
Uncle Joe stepped off the porch and made night of his day

Now here we sit in juvy and uncle Joe he is in jail
I reckon I’ll write Santa ask if he can post our bail

Or maybe send his reindeer to crash right through the roof
So we could fly up out of here, upon the golden hoof

If another snow falls all angelic and white
I’ll build me a snowman but l won't snowball fight


I can't seem to bring the contest up so I hope
I did this right. This carol is done to the beat 
of "The First Noel"

You've got me chuckling with this one. Enjoyed it. Good luck in the contest. Thank you for your concern regarding my haiku--healed... It isn't about me but born of my years working with the abused. Blessings to you. Karen

Good write, Mike. I can't get into the contests either. Have asked for help, but nothing happens. Evidently the powers that be are just too busy. Love, daver

Ha ha! You are bringing me back to winter childhood memories. Even though I always lost, as my big brother was merciless and had a grand finale of bombarding me, I still always had a blast. You did a great job here Michael. Good luck! And as far a your last comment goes, YAY about your new house! You and your family please have a beautiful holiday, you have so much to celebrate and be thankful for. Love you too right back. Love, Shar xoxo
