Here Comes Winter
by Sharmagne Leland-St. John

Here comes winter 
a ghostly chill
frosty windows
Icicle sill

Bring out the mittens
scarves and boots
down the chimney comes
Santa covered in soot

No need to  bake
a ham this year
we'll just roast one 
of Santa's reindeer

Run Dasher and Dancer 
Donner and Cupid  too,
Run  Comet and Blitzen and Prancer ...
Vixen will make a very fine stew.


That's a bad joke I fear
I'm just trying to wish you
A Happy New Year!
