'TIS THE SEASON

Snowy windblown, scarved, ear-muffed shoppers
Rush, rush, rush
Rainbows sparkle in children’s eyes
Bobbles glitter glow__in snow's crunch-like hush
      on lashes, in hair
Tiny dispositions__poise in stare

Puppet master’s rosy cheek, dancing, cheery show
To set young face aglow
      on this Christmas Eve ago

Clinking dimes, tap cups like chimes
As mothers wisp wee ones home__with care
Cloves and cinnamon, aroma the air
Fully decorated evergreens, in the window’s bright glare
Magic chains of popcorn__opposite handsome dressed gingerbread men
Signal a Christmas with much savoir-faire
Bid all rejoice__try forget their despair
For Joyeux Noel is in the air__once again
