PRE-CHRISTMAS HAIKU

–

Christmas shopping lasts

Through Christmas at every sale

Great sales in August!

–

Hungrier each minute

See a cook pot–what’s in it?

EW–slimy fish  worms!

–

Green Christmas forecast,

Not time yet for winter blast…

How ’bout white spray paint?

–

Pickings very thin,

Bonus check  kept them afloat…

Gift lists shorter still!

–

In America,

Children dream of many things…

How many come true?

–

Sleigh bells vibrating,

For deep snow they are waiting…

Bicycle wheels on?

–

No children at all,

Our celebration is small…

Christ comes in the flesh!!!

–

God to man did come,

Through Mary the bless-ed one…

Defenseless baby!

–

Wise men followed stars,

Herod’s hatred bore him scars….

Tricked, he killed them all!

–

Festive parties run

Glitter edifies no one…

Believe and choose God!

–

When all is silent,

Reflect on Jesus being…

Born to live, then die!
