From our house to yours
.A Christmas Carol
Oh little town of Alexand how still we see thee lie,
Can only mean we’re not outside,
my daughter, son and I
Yet in the dark street shineth an everlasting light,
I think it be my
Christmas tree, those flashing things are bright!
How silently how silently the cat comes sidling in…
Since joining us in February, she’s had us in a spin
She sulked for the first week or two then hid under the
bed,
And though she should be TLE's cat she fancies the Queen instead
Listen and you just might hear some voices singing gaily
Could be Kapa haka (her) or him and ukulele
Born to please a crowd they are, with not a hint of coy
On the stage or a YouTube clip, that’s my girl and boy
Out in the garden -
one for each- lots of plants
abound
Berries, peas, and spuds and beans are all there to be
found
The Engineer's the green thumb, the Dancing Queen, likes cooking
(Though more whipped cream and chocolate cake is pinched
when I’m not looking)
The adult of the house is great – in work and home life too
The job, the gym, the Village Voice, the dancing that I
do
A special friend to share my time, (who’s learned to
dance as well)
In retrospect I must declare the year has turned out
swell
Happy
Christmas from Us
