Analysis of Show Some Cheer
Find a host. Make a toast.
Cruise the coast.
Shout some boast.
Give a wink. Skate the rink.
Walk the brink.
Swig some drink.
Be of use. Cut a noose.
Make a truce.
Sip some juice.
Burn a log. Feed the dog.
Leap the frog.
Slurp some grog.
Ride a wake. Claim a stake.
Frost the cake.
Slake some ache.
Have no fear. Roads are clear.
Friends are near.
Show some cheer.
