Maybe you can use this poem in your Downhome Christmas edition. I look forward to getting your magazine each month. I love to write poems, so I love the poetry, and the puzzles. Merry Christmas to all of you.
The Christmas Concert The Christmas concert many years ago The big event of the year. There were moms and dads, nans and pops Everyone was there. Getting ready for the concert Took about a month or more. Each student had a part or two. Some had three or four. There were songs and recitations. Exercises with a letter. If some were in the wrong position This made it all go better. Some kids knew most all the parts So if some friend got flu, Just before concert time They knew just what to do. They would step in and substitute So things would go just right. And everyone would be so proud On this their special night. Each one was dressed in their very best. On each face was a smile. After all the work that was involved This made it all worthwhile. At the end there was a Christmas tree With gifts for everyone. And a visit from old Santa Claus Was always lots of fun. There was so much excitement When Santa called the names. There were dolls and toys and even sleighs. Sometimes there were games. There were no tickets at the door. Everything was free. Everybody came along And brought their family. Today the Christmas concerts Are so different we all know But I believe we had more fun At those concerts long ago.   Submitted By: NULL
