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!
