it's a portable poem to sing to you
when you're sad
a portable wand to change things
when you're mad.
it doesn't ask much
it's magic, as such
and they won't even see it
to call out "contraband"
(that is, if you memorize it.)
it will only take a minute or two.
it can't be borrowed
it's just for you.
I hope it will make you instantly merry
it's light as air and easy to carry.
so you can have fun with it all the day through
with scissors and paste or maybe with glue.
it's soap bubble rainbowed through afternoon.
no matter what anyone does, or assumes.
you'll know it by heart.
and in your best shoes.
so Christmas come early and snow come on
and let all the churlish say once upon.
let ice cream be served
and chocolate cake too.
this poem is a party
inviting you.
