Antler Ride

 

I heard the bells ring Christmas Day

As joyfully I chewed away,

The reindeer said, “WHO

On my antlers does chew?”

“I’m guilty,” was all I could say.

 

 

“I’m leaving,” the reindeer announced,

“Come down or you’ll surely get bounced.”

“No, I can hang on,

For the time that we’re gone,”

I foolishly squeaked and pronounced.

 

 

I shivered and held on so tight,

This trip might just cause me a fright,

The wind whistled past,

We were going so fast,

“Merry Christmas to all and goodnight.”

Wallaby

 

 

Willoughby Woo was a wallaby

Whose kangaroo friends called him “Wannabe,”

He’d pretend to be cool,

But they called him a fool.

It’s not what a wallaby oughtta be.

 

“Now listen, my friend, Joey Roo,

I’m certain we’re cousins, we two,

Though different in name,

We are clearly the same, 

And you see that I’m handsome like you.”

 

Still, Willoughby Wallaby Woo

Wished he were a fine kangaroo,

His friend Joey Roo,

Said, “I know what to do.

Just say, ‘Bibbity Bobbity, Boo!'”
