Merry Christmas

(Dedicated to Amy B. who inspired me to write my Christmas card in song form.)(To the tune of Jingle Bells)

 

Jingle Bells! Hope you’re swell!

Here’s our news this year.

Read our song, and hum along.

Oh we hope to spread some cheer.

___

Dashing little Jack

loves to wear his coat and tie,

tell tales and funny jokes,

laughing all the while. HA HA HA

 

He’s learned to ride a bike

and also swim and read.

of French preschool he says, “I like!”

of Superman, “I NEED!”

 

OH! Adenoids out! Tonsils out!

He finally sleeps ALL night!

Energy to sing, play, shout,

oh and we think Jack’s just right.

____

Owen now is six.

In the first grade, having fun

memorizing poems

learning French with everyone.

 

Still loves to build Lego

To swim, and dance, and read

history and biographies

are books that take the lead.

 

OH! Cardboard please! Tape! and he’s

inventing something new.

Oh! what fun it is to see

his creative side come through!

Merry Christmas!
