Short Poems for Kids ✍️

This Christmas will be different:
the angels got the sack.
A choir of heavenly llamas sing,
conducted by a yak.

Here come the three wise penguins,
riding camels. (Well, why not?
We can’t go changing everything
to fill the festive slot!)

The shepherds on the hillside
are looking after cats.
The sky is filled with magic
from supersonic bats.

But hidden in a stable
three people never change:
Joseph, Mary, Jesus,
whose absence would be strange.

Some things in life may alter,
but some things stay the same.
May God be praised for Christmas
and Jesu’s holy name.
