Christmas

It was Christmas night with the stars twinkling. all the lights shining bright the crowd of people thickening. Singing Christmas carols through the town “We wish you a Merry Christmas” “We wish you a Merry Christmas” shrill voices made me frown In a small corner under the dull flickering street light trying to look harder as the words in my book lit on fire Noises echoing voices bellowing feet tapping my ears were snarling Like the Grinch on Christmas Eve like eating a poinsettia this night this terrible dreary night is one of the worst I have ever seen
