Visions of Carrots
-
'Twas the night before
Christmas and all thru the pen
-
Not a creature was
stirring but a little bunny named Ben
Covered with hay the babies snuggled in their hutch
Dancing thru their heads visions of carrots, parsley and such
-
When up on the roof
there arose such a clatter
-
Lil Ben volunteered to
see what was the matter
By
his bright red suspenders Santa hung from the roof
Took a wrong step and fell thru the snowy wire with a poof
-
Santa smiled at Ben and
said, "Hi Little Bunny"
-
"I'm in a bit of a
bind and yes, it is kind of funny"
At
Santa's request Ben woke the other bunnies
They yawned and they stretched and looked at him funny
With their heads cocked sideways, they listened to Santa explain
He wanted to become some kind of airplane?
They formed a big circle around where Santa hung
They counted to 3 and then they all sprung
They reached up and latched onto Santa's red suit
Ben grabbed a hold of Santa's Big Black Boot
Just as they landed back down on the ground
They all let go, hoping for a big rebound
This sent Santa sailing thru the hole in the roof
They didn't think it would work but here was the proof
They had stretched Santa's suspenders by pulling on his suit
Sent him flying thru the air losing one boot
He
landed in his sleigh, upright on his feet
His boot landing beside him on the driver's seat
Thru the hole in the roof he thanked all the bunnies
Then left loads of carrots and parsley to fill all their tummies
-
Santa pulled on his
boot and straightened his hat
-
It had stayed on his
head, can you imagine that?
-
Then over the pen Santa
made one more flight
-
Merry Christmas to all
and to all a Good Night!
