HE STOOD IN THE COLD CRISP NIGHT

 

He stood in the cold crisp night

Beneath the moon and the stars

And looked at the majestic vista

Imagining such a perfect night sky

Two thousand years before

THE GRINCH AND THE ELF

 

When love was taken from him

He was left bereft, and his heart stopped

And his world was transformed

To a place of ice and snow

Where his cold heart,

Once over flowing with love,

Froze solid in his chest.

So he came to like the winter

With its long cold nights

And short dismal days

He found comfort in the season

And its bitter unfriendly ways

Only Christmas spoiled it for him,

Disrupting his misery,

With its joyous music,

Gaily decorated shops,

And of course, its joviality

But then one day out of the blue

As he tried to avoid the jollity

It happened, his heart began to thaw

All because of an Elf

Or to be more precise

A girl in the green tights, pointy shoes,

Brightly coloured tunic and a cute hat

All it took was one smile

For the connection to be made

And she had him body and soul

Although he was unaware

It was a mutual attraction

Because she didn’t show her hand

And played hard to get

She wanted him, but she made him work 

To win her, to pursue her

To prove that he was worthy

So it wasn’t until Christmas Eve

That the Elf yielded to the Grinch

And they kissed by the light of the moon

Before attending midnight mass

MY PRETTY LITTLE MISS

 

The first time I met

My pretty little Miss

We needed mistletoe

To share a Christmas Kiss

 

Now when I meet

With my pretty Miss

We need no artificial aid

For us to share a kiss

 

And when we meet

And we share a kiss

Every day is Christmas

For me and my little Miss

UNDER THE CHRISTMAS MOON

 

Moonlight glinted

On the frozen land

Of the silent vale

Dressed crisply

In winters cloak.

A shooting star

Flashed across the sky

And I made a wish

Nothing profound

Just a simple thing

But immensely special

Because I wished

For a Christmas kiss

With the girl I loved
