Beauty of December

Is the weather calm and cool When good friends remember, About vinyl from the spool Joys of Santas’s goodies When we were small back then, Mother and her cookies Six men wiser than a pen. No sweets sold in the market Mother made them all, Beating deadline target Before the eve would fall. Tailors were visited by many: Crowds to get their wears, There was mummy and granny With children under their care. There was a rush of decoration That filled the streets with gay Choirs practise their rendition Before Christmas day. Midnight saw costumes parade With lace and trimmings rare, Gentlemen suited and booted Walking in style with their pair. Salons too did brisk business Ladies to look their best, Not to show their riches But for Christmas, to look the best. Away in the Manger A little child is laid; With shepherds and three kings Outside in a cold promenade.
