Christmas Eve
When I was a kid Christmas Eve seemed to be the longest day. I was so excited that the clock seemed to stop turning. It was the only night of the year I wanted to go to bed early so that Christmas Day would come sooner!
Today’s poem tries to capture the excitement of the night before Chrsitmas;
Christmas Eve
Tick tock, tick tock
The hands turned slowly
Tick tock tick tock
It was not that I was holy
Tick tock tick tock
Would Santa ever come
Tick tock tick tock
Be patient said my mum
Tick tock tick tock
Pillowcase put in place
Tick tock tick tock
A spare one just in case
Tick tock tick tock
A peek into the sky
Tick tock tick tock
Is he coming I do cry?
Tick tock tick tock
Time to go to bed
Tick tock tick tock
Cuddle up with ted
Tick tock tick tock
Too excited to sleep
Tick tock tick tock
One eye open to peep
Tick tock tick tock
Christmas can’t come too fast
Tick tock tick tock
Fast asleep at last
Tick tock tick tock
Dark still outside
Tick tock tick tock
Excitement cannot hide
Tick tock tick tock
Santa’s been hurray
Tick tock tick tock
At last it’s Christmas Day
