Merry Christmas Mr. & Mrs. Hampton
Now that we have seen many Christmas’
Now that we have heard many Carols
Now that we have opened many Gifts
How do we write new cheerful Heralds?
With the smell of Madelynn’s baking cookies,
and the children, finally helping, with the dishes
Let’s have a cup of cocoa, and talk about poetry
Poetry for the season, reasons for all life’s wishes
Remember, the feelings, when Santa first gave us cheer,
and how curious, in awe, we became of his reindeer;
The so-many ways of decorating the tree each year;
The sweet times of reminiscing of family in revere?
Madelynn Dear, please turn on the holiday tunes
Let us tell you what we went shopping for in June
Things homemade, gifts for the homeless, oh so attune
With faith all through the year, blessings fell in opportune
The gift of a warm made quilt is a little fire
A pocketful of verse in a little chap to inspire
Simple things to cuddle up to before they retire
We thought we would create moments, we the supplier-
to living poems, and rescue the spirit they once attired
We were so happy to see the smiles on their face
With no strings attached, that’s the gift of grace
From the depths of our love, to the ones misplaced
We gave them the Spirit of Christmas to embrace
So, our new humorous poet friends
Christmas stories stir us restless, getting-
family and friends on the guest list
And with these modern days of netting
We so dearly wish you the spirit in expansion
Merry Christmas Mr. & Mrs. Hampton
