I bought boots for Christmas to tread the icy plains.
I bought toys for Christmas with Santas in my trains.
I lit my home for Christmas with a Cedar bright.
I made cup cakes for Christmas for my love's delight.
I bought Jane a dress for Christmas with ribbons pink.
I bought for my grandma a cozy Christmas mink.
I bought for Jill two amazing Christmas Sparrows.
I bought for Jack a toy quiver full of arrows.
I bought an Elk for Christmas with nose giving light.
I bought for Christmas, candles for a solemn night.
I made for Christmas a warm and sweet lemonade,
and I sang on Christmas morn, a sweet Serenade.

I love the idea of Nigeria (where you claim to be from), subject to “icy plains”. Likewise, the purchase of a “cozy Christmas mink” must be further evidence that climate change has done its worst and we have now returned to an Ice Age.
Come off the grass – I don’t believe you come from Nigeria – that’s just a cover. Your real name is Jock McTavish and you live in the Icy wastes of north Scotland.🙂
Thanks a lot Doggerel Dave. I am Nigerian. I am a versatile poet; writing from the African, Oriental and Occidental perspective. I swing several different ways in my write-ups. It's a lot of fun.
Versatile is the word, mate - many thanks.
