Social critic and novelist Charles Dickens -
The plot of his every book so interestingly thickens!
Not only the creator of Scrooge was he;
He revived the Christmas spirit for you and for me.
A God-honored teacher, Miss Ruth Vance
His gift to our town, His circumstance.
No replacing her bulging tote bag -
It was priceless, minus the Gucci tag."
and now the rest of the story....
Teacher extraordinaire, Miss Ruth Vance
taught eighth graders about life, perchance.
From first grade to twelfth, school musician.
Music was her primary mission.
For Halloween, she'd parade the whole school
round and round the gym! What a jewel!
Her eighth graders always danced the May Pole.
Pomp and Circumstance, our seniors' goal.
Christmas plays displayed her special niche;
school choirs of all ages sang without a hitch.
Our Mary Poppins with overstuffed school bag -
Miss Ruth, musician, teacher and wag.
Sundays at noon, she played the town postlude
doors thrown wide open, all ears were glued...
Baptists, Methodists going home from church
heard Miss Ruth, at her Presbyterian perch.

A parcel postman named Claus
in 2020 had reason to pause
Covid19 pandemic ,we can relate
made poorly Santa ,for ten days isolate.
Santa Claus, he scratched his beard
When he noticed something weird!
Christmas sales in summer? What a holiday hitch!
“Add a day!”, said Father Time, “To fix this glaring glitch”.

His creations sell for mega sponduli
A sculptor whose work is really first class
I adore his flowers made from blown glass
Last week my son went to the exhibition in Kew gardens London and sent me the most spectacular photographs which have introduced me to this amazing artist. We have now booked to go to London to see the exhibition for ourselves and my son has booked us tickets as an early Christmas present

Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge
The 'Fourth Stooge'
Three were hilarious
The fourth, nefarious
Santa Claus
Gives us pause
But just as midnight chimes
This jolly Saint comes
in the 'Nick' of time
Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer
helped Santa out one year.
To keep his nose lit steady,
he used an Everready!

Snowman, who ‘s also as white as tissues
Wants to wear Santa Claus' pair of shoes
He sits right on top of two short poles
Down the snow he has his propelling rolls

Child caring Father Christmas,
Messed with drops from Max's ass,
Gave little Max a new pamper
Without losing his temper.
On Cristmas Eve, comes Santa Clause,
stuffing tons of cookies in his jaws.
It's no wonder he's Jolly and fat;
I would be too, if I ate like that.
It seems that even-tempered Ralphie Parker,
Had a side to him that was somewhat darker.
Ralphie lost his cool with his mortal protagonist,
And bloodied the beak of Farkus his antagonist!

Arthur Christmas*
Had a gift to deliver his father missed
Stupid reindeer and grandfather in tow
Found the little girl, so she'll never know
Andrea's Contest - Christmas Clerihew
* Arthur Christmas, scatter brain son of Father Christmas, found a present his Dad had forgotten to deliver. The film shows to what extent he had to go to to deliver the last present. With untrained reindeer and his grandfather he sets off.
Ebenezeer Scrooge
Suspected subterfuge,
And his transformation seems extreme
For what was probably just a nightmarish dream!
For Andrea’s Christmas Clerihew contest
Rudolph the red-nosed
Rudolph the red-nosed,
when for pic with Santa posed,
Slipped off the sleigh, down he rolled,
yet nose in dark, illuminated manifold !
