Bundles
A bundle is a funny thing,
It always sets me wondering;
For whether it is thin or wide
You never know just what's inside.
Especially on Christmas week,
Temptation is so great to peek!
Now wouldn't it be much more fun
If shoppers carried things undone?
The Candy Santa Claus
I'm very fond of candles
With their quaint coquettish way,
But alas! I wooed too often,
And now my life's to pay.
They knew I was important
When they decked the Christmas tree,
Yes, they hung me on the tip-top
For all the world to see.
But, alas! A lady candle
Has come with me to the top,
And I'm melting with affection,
I'm dying drop by drop.
The Tinsel Star
I'm just a shiny tinsel star,
Boxed all the time as such things are,
And only used just once a year,
Oh, life is very dull and drear!
A real star has far fields to roam,
A tinsel star must stay at home.
It is a terrible vexation
To be a silly imitation!
