As Christmas nears, and you're with those you love,
my gift to you all is the true story of.......


MY BEST CHRISTMAS EVER! :thumbsup:


When I was a boy, I lived on a farm,
I woke to a rooster, and not an alarm.
I had plenty of chores to do every day,
that had to be done before I could play.
So I worked hard and I sweat a lot,
while I shoveled you know what.
I fed the chickens, I fed the cows,
I fed the horses, I fed the sows.
But the horses were what I loved the best,
for they were smarter than all the rest.
But they were too big (I was only half grown),
so I dreamed of a PONY of my very own!
But in those days, dreams weren't enough,
cause ponies cost money, and times were tough.
Yet I kept on hoping there might be some way,
for Santa to make some more room in his sleigh.
Now Christmas on a farm is the best time of year,
with our family together and full of good cheer.
Cheerful for all, that is, except me,
for I saw no pony under the tree.
Oh, how I trembled, and how my hands shook,
when I opened a present, a horse picture book! :(
So if not today, then probably never,
this just could be my worst Christmas ever!
And though I was big for a boy of my years,
it was all I could do to hold back my tears. ;(
And all of the while I was crying inside,
my Mom wore a smile she was trying to hide. :whistling:
Then Dad said," What's that?", "Hey Johnny, come look!", 8o
so I jumped to my feet and tossed down my book!
Then I ran to the window and followed his gaze,
and saw a sight I'll remember for the rest of my days!
For there all by itself, in the new fallen snow,
stood a little red pony, wearin' a BIG RED BOW! :)




TODAY.....

Now my folks are retired, and I'll love 'em forever,
for they gave me MY BEST CHRISTMAS EVER! :thumbsup:



...........MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)

    I just write poems for the fun of it, Janiee. I also enjoy reading the poems of other people because I'm all about everybody expressing themselves creatively. And no prize can compare to the appreciation that I've already been shown by the player's here. Thanks for the compliment! :)
