Holiday Rhyme Contest (36 lines) A boy wishes for snow and learns a lesson |
Snowmen and Sunshine How I wish it would snow. Do you think I could ask Santa? There's plenty of snow where Santa Claus lives, He could bring some to Alabama. If it snowed, I'd make a snowman, Throw snowballs with my brother, slide down hills on flat box lids, and make snow angels with my mother. But all we get here is sunshine. If its icy, everyone worries But it can't be a perfect Christmas Day If the sky isn't full of flurries I know, maybe I'll ask God 'cause He controls the weather. Surely He will bring me snow to make my Christmas better. While sitting with my family I read the story of Christ And just like in Alabama The desert had no snow or ice. And wasn't His birth the reason We celebrate Christmas today? Well, if sunshine was good for Jesus then who am I to complain. Christmas morning, I woke with excitement And ran down the stairs to the tree As I opened my gifts from Santa Claus I heard my big brother scream Hey Jack, I think you got your wish There's a snowman in our front yard With a grin on his face, he pointed outside At an inflatable Frosty by the car You silly goose, you got it all wrong That wasn't my wish, you see. You can keep the cold noses, wet shoes and cold toes 'Cause sunshine is just fine with me. (36 lines) |
