A tall pinetree stood in front of me. <br />Many colorful rays blazed bright, <br />And garland wrapped about the tree. <br />I just gazed at the beauty with a smile. <br /> <br />I wanted to jump all about tree. <br />A Christmas tune entered my mind, <br />And I started to twirl round with glee. <br />I sang “Jingle bells, Christmas is so fine.” <br /> <br />A man saw me dance by the pedigree, <br />And kindly offered his hand in sway. <br />I accepted it, and we balled by the tree. <br />The two of us sang while we swung away. <br /> <br />We waltzed near the timber a long time. <br />Our jamboree chain just grew and grew. <br />When we ended turning, a group stood by. <br />My pard and I shared the luster for a few. <br /> <br />It was a gorgeous evening that night. <br />Not a cloud in the sky could be seen. <br />The glowing brilliance looked so right. <br />Up high, the North Star could be scene. <br /> <br />It was just before midnight of Christmas Eve. <br />If one listened hard, one heard angels near. <br />They chanted Merry Christmas to all of thee. <br />Then the mass wished all A Happy New Year.<br /><br />Monica Engeler<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dance-around-the-christmas-tree/
