Christmas Rhyme

Richard Groff 1957 (Pottstown, Pa.)

Christmas time, Christmas time
It’s time for another Christmas rhyme

Everything you think is true is not
And soon your riches all will rot
So, stuff your stockings with silver and gold
And wait to die as you grow old

As your cares and worries blossom
You try to smile while playing possum
You always neglect the things that matter
When you’re not with Me you only scatter

My name is Jesus; I’m the Christ
The reason that you sing
I’m the reason for the season
The creator of everything

Ho! Ho! Ho! What did you call me?
Merry Christmas
