Hot Summer For Christmas 2018 Poem by Paul Warren

The sun shines down
On old Adelaide town
With the only thoughts of snow
Are on the Christmas TV shows
For we have 40 degrees
And look for our air conditioner - please

I remember those Christmas Days
That in my memory will stay
Of wrapped presents and such joy
When fun and Santa we all enjoy
And the Australian Sun
Added to our enjoyment for everyone

We sing jingle bells with no snow sleigh
When ‘Let it snow' is not our way
Santa's red face is not from being jolly
Look out on Christmas Eve as across the sky
Santa's sleigh is pulled by six white boomers in his Australian fly

But our Sun and fun is for all
With family gathered at Santa's call
No snow or darkness for us will be
The Southern Continent's heat will ours you see
And we all remember our Hot Christmas'
When joy and happiness was for all of us.
