Christmas Baking Time-- A Poem and Some Music

l

                  A CHRISTMAS POEM


T'was not the night before Christmas
but was getting close.

The stockings weren't hung by the chimney
and no one seems to care.

The rooms were a clutter with wrapping paper
and all.
I can't seem to find the tape or scissors at all.

The dog thinks the toys are all his
and has marked each one with teeth marks as he gnaws.

The cat explores each box
scratching and sniffing and oops that ain't all.

It comes too soon to leave so fast
In a few more days Christmas will be in the past.

We all were so busy, running around in a tizzy
so the real meaning got lost, we were too busy.

On the night before Christmas
a long time ago
A child was born but few seemed to know

In all the years that have come and gone
the greatest gift that was ever given
has gotten lost... we're too busy livin'

So maybe it's time we slowed things down
and took the time to remember...
    

Jesus Christ
The Reason for the Season.

Good one, Ticker.

I saw Bob Seger in concert at the Capital Center , Landover MD.(DC) in 1980. And then again at the Greensboro Coliseum earlier this year. He put on two plus solid hours, moving around on that stage like a youngster. ( He is eligible for Medicare )Still going strong and keeeping a rigorous schedule

Here is one of his real. real oldies.

Aw, Fred, this is a great one, a lot of fun and one heck of a groovy beat. Makes me want to get up and get down and boogie. hahah. Thanks for sharing a little known Christmas song. I am not sure it will make a lot of folks easy listening list however.
Merry Christmas my friend.
