Some days he would sing
Others bell ring
He was a real humdinger...

Colored lights draped over elaborate wire trees
   Festive wreaths dressed in ornaments to please
Christmas songs piped in, one after another
   Outside a bell-ringer chirps, Merry Xmas, brother

“You can ring my bell, ring my bell, you can ring my bell” Anita Ward

rings my

Oh, how he makes me tingle from
head to
toe.
