The Parade

The parade came to town

With plenty of clowns

The marching drums and playing flutes

Decorated floats and cars that hoot

By-standers staying warm

Watching the parade go down the street

While clowns are handing out treats

which all the kids think is neat

At the end of the parade

Comes a float that everyone wants to see

Can you imagine who that might be

It is Santa in his sleigh

Saying Christmas is on it's way.
