Sentimental Deer by T.L. Ryder (c) 2017
It’s Christmas time
sleigh bells ring
in the city
The carolers sing
“Noel, Noel”
Are you listening?
Christmas brings
joy to the world
The bells ring
“Noel, Noel”
Candles gleaming
eyes all aglow
O holy night,
The angels sing
“Noel, Noel”
In the manger
flocks by night
to cradle run
The friendly beasts sing
“Noel, Noel”
In thy dark streets
come and worship
the newborn king
The holy star sings
“Noel, Noel”
((I cobbled together lines from various Christmas songs to make this pastiche like holiday ode. Give it a try if you dare! And drop me a link in the comments if you do.))
