Christmas On a Tree Lot

One Christmas Eve On a small tree lot Sat the last ragged few That had not been bought. One little guy Missed his mom and dad And asked those around him For advice they had. First a Blue Spruce Forlorn as his name Said, “We’ll never get out. Recession to blame.” A Sugar Pine Sweetly shook her head. “Why I declare my boy Forget what he said!” “Ach, me wee one,” Said a tall Scots Pine. “Have ye faith in Christmas And ye’ll be just fine.” A Bishop Pine Boughs crossed in a prayer Asked one from a manger To help them all there. They saw a light Then Noble Pine states, “We’re all bound for a church! Merry Christmas mates!” November 29, 2018
