When the light
Bright
And white
Shined on the knight
Guarding, ready to fight
An aristocrat
Wearing a festive royal paper hat
Sparkling silver and gold
As I have been told
Walked through the snow
Displaying its wintry style glow
Wanting one last feast
Celebrating peace
Seemed a spirited fellow
Humble and mellow
Approached a door
Not knowing what for
When answered, revealed a boy
Filled with joy
Who just opened his requested playful toy
Showing a happy grin
Expressed, “how have you been?
Come, quickly come in
And see what happened when I win
Our gift giving game
Wow, we are the same
No one to blame,”
He said
Well fed
“It is cheer time
And be kind
Sharing special biscuits and wine
Juice served to you
Magically brewed
And a cracker, that will turn you
Into a fool
So, be cool.”
Suggested the mysterious guest
Delivering a moral test
Helping a child
Developing proper social style
“That I like,”
Agreed the little tyke
Passing the tempting quiz
Acting, bubbly, no fizz
Soon a toast
Performed by the host
Honoring the visiting invisible ghost
Not really there
Calming a scare
Caused when a lighted conversational flair
Made a communication glare
Discussing an angry affair
When those in power
Acted sour
Arguing a debate
Information not important nor great
This should never determine other’s fate
When clock sounded twelve chimes
Forest trees unleashed their scented pine
Reciting the final scripted line
Proclaiming nature’s beauty
Is now on duty
And make sure to bring home leftover foodie
