Little Carol Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

peppermint mocha in a cup

it's whipped cream, so fluff it up.

ginger cake with anise seed

crackled with sugar

powdered, please.

one flake two flake

through the window blew

o achoo.

baby King await him still

manger, baby what you will

bright my house of books will stand

seeking shepherds, wisemen, lambs

there, he's sleeping manger clear

tiptoe in

it's Christmas, dears.
