Christmas
Everyone is busy
At this special time of year.
There`s lots of work for mums and dads 
As Christmas is quite near.
 
The parcels and the presents 
The turkey and the food.
The children are all happy 
And trying to be good.
 
The tree is up
The crib is out.
The baby lying in the hay.
Now lets all pause a little while
To wish Jesus a Happy Birthday.
 
By Kirsten Mc Connell.

The cold snow
The cold cold snow.
How cold does it blow.
Through the trees.
Through my hair.
It just blows everywhere.
 
Its cold as ice.
But really really nice.
It looks like cotton wool.
But keeps me really cool.
 
It only comes once every year.
But all the children seem to cheer.
They love the snow, they love the sun.
But most of all they love the fun.

Christmas Time
Christmas, Christmas Santa's sleigh.
Christmas, Christmas jingle all the way.
Christmas, Christmas loads of fun.
Christmas, Christmas for everyone.
Christmas, Christmas lots of toys.
Christmas, Christmas lots of noise.
Christmas, Christmas Santas here.
Christmas, Christmas every year.

Santa
Santa in his suit so bright,
Riding in his sleigh
On Christmas Eve Night,
With sacks full of toys
For all the girls and boys.
 
A little surprise
Before your eyes,
As Santa and Rudolf
Go flying by.
 
On Christmas Eve Night
I shiver in delight
To hear the bells jingle in my ear.

Christmas
I hate getting up in the mornings,
And leaving a nice cosy bed,
So I slide down under the blankets,
And pull them over my head.
 
But Christmas Morning is different,
I jump up full of glee,
For I know downstairs in the living room
That Santa has visited me!

Big Red Nose
My nose is rather itchy,
I think I'll have to sneeze,
I wonder what has caused
This need for me to wheeze.
 
Could it be the pepper
I put on my cheese and toast?
Or maybe just the pollen from the flowers and the trees.
I think I need my puffer to give me some relief
Or maybe just my hanky,
And I could sneeze in peace!

THE PLAYGROUND
Visiting the playground
I start to have some fun,
Children playing all around
Jumping in the leaves,
Enjoying the Autumn sun.
 
You can jump and skip
And run around,
Watch out in case you trip
Or you'll land on the ground
 
You can play hide and go seek
But watch, the one whose on it may take a peek.
You must run away
So they will not catch you until the end of the day
But then it soon gets dark
And you must leave the park.

Billy Mc Bone 
Billy Mc Bone
Had a mind of his own ,
Which he mostly kept under his hat .
The teachers all thought 
That he couldn't be taught,
But didn't seem to mind that.
 
Billy Mc Bone
Had a mind of his own,
Which the teachers had searched for for YEARS.
Trying test after test,
They still never guessed 
It was hidden between his ears.
 
Billy Mc Bone 
Had a mind of his own,
Which only his friends ever saw .
When the teacher said, 
"Bill, whereabouts is Brazil?"
He just shuffled and stared at the floor.
 
Billy Mc Bone 
Had a mind of his own,
Which he kept under lock and key.
While the teachers in vain
Tried to burgle his brain,
Bill's thoughts were off on their own.

The itchy, twitchy witches 
There was a witch,
This witch had itch,
The itch was so itchy,
It gave her a twitch.
 
Another witch,
Admired the twitch,
So she started twitch,
Though she had no itch.
 
Now theres two them,
So its hard to tell,
Which witch has the itch,
And which witch has the twitch.

Birds

There is a bird in the sky it is flying so high

why oh why do they leave when Autumn departs

and winter comes in.

Why can we not fly so high

because we are people and they are birds.
