Christmas Dream

Christmas Dream


Take me girl
Don’t hang around
Take me now
I’m leaving school
Getting a car
Somehow.

You say you like me
Well ‘like’ can grow
I’ve heard them say
Into love
So, take me girl
Today.

I’ll get a job
Get money for me
And you
We’ll live life
Stick together girl
Like glue.

Take me girl
And I’ll take you
Anywhere
North south east west
Forever girl
Somewhere.

I fancy you
I make you laugh
You make me smile
We are so good
Together our
Lifestyle.

You look at me
With those eyes
They’re so deep blue
I’ll buy you a pizza
With coleslaw
Love you.

You want a flower
Take a rose
It’s yours to hold
I want to hold you
Close and closer
Enfold.

You can hold me
Tell me you like me
Here comes the snow
It’s Christmas
I’ll keep you warm
Don’t go.

And through the window
He gazed
He watched her go
Where to?
Who is she?
Don’t know.

And it did snow
And it was nearly Christmas
Final lesson at school.
He loved her.
Christmastime alone.
A fool.

Maybe one day
He smiled
Then heard the school bell
He packed his books
And ran. And time
Will tell.

I sell flowers
On a street corner
A young boy
Buys a rose
Wishes me Happy Christmas
Yuletide joy ………………………..

Well, good Lord, of course she left! What girl eats pizza with coleslaw on it? All that pepperoni and tomato sauce covered in vinegar, vegetable oil and mayonnaise. Are you kidding me?! Otherwise a fine poem! But get her a better pizza and she may return bro! Otherwise, she'll keep running and fast!

Take care,
Mike

PS - I promised revenge. This is it!

a aweet littl Christmas story though sad... but I must agree with the other old guys... a girl who eats Pizza and coleslaw... Hmmm, no wonder it didn't last! Great poem... with a simple soul... But rich Christmas spirit!

The spirit of Christmas shines out bright from this special little story. Then I can't but agree with the comments above, 'cause I too would not fancy this pizza. Christmas Blessings to you. Ulla xx

The young boy (in Christmas Dream) was a distant but direct descendant of a tribe that lived and thrived on the remote group of islands known as the ‘Dominique Colsanders’.

For maybe 1000 years they sat around blazing fires, at the turn of each season, eating their equivalent of the modern day pizza. The topping was strips of goat with finely shredded beaver, (cheese was hard to come by and tomatoes were sacred). In the midst of this feast a barrel of coleslaw, (real sliced cabbage in soured goat’s milk, they hadn’t thought of mayo) was readily available to spoon on to their pizza slices.

The rudiments of this ancient tradition continue to this day and the dish is often used as a ‘love potion’. Obviously today’s descendants (like the boy in Christmas Dream) resort to modern recipes. Usually they buy a pizza from Dominos and a tub (they don’t do barrels) of coleslaw from KFC.

I hope this explanation puts you critiques firmly in your place and just to let you all know, I wasn’t offended.

After all, it was my fault; I should have ‘worked’ this explanation into Christmas Dream.

I do hope we can all stand corrected, move on, shake hands, (or maybe some of you would prefer a hug).

I wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
