Rhyme TIME
Strange dream

A strange thing happened

with me,

I went to a strange land and met Foo and Lee,

They were twins,

They took me to the queen and the king

We had a grand party there,

But I asked, now I was where,

They put me in the jail,

As in the examinations I had failed.

I was scared and I cried,

Then I saw some prisoners being fried,

Now it was my turn,

To be mixed in wax or cream,

But thank god, it was just a dream

Santa, you emerge from snow,

Where moss and lichen grow.

On December 25, you suddenly
come out,

Like water coming out with a spout.

You distribute your gifts there,

But you never come here.

We are waiting for you,

To please you what should we do?

We have started singing your favourite song,

Since so long.

We have decorated the Christmas tree,

And we’ll give you some
candies free.

Do travel a mile,

And give us a reason to smile.

Though Santa may not come

His blessings will surely come,

May this Christmas Day,

Make you happy and gay.
