Christmas Stockings

[flier58]

"Have you hung your stocking up?"
"Where do I have to hang it?"
"You can hang it on your bed post
Or underneath the tree."

"What do I use to hang it?
What will make it stay in place?"
"We can put a nail in the wood
Then I don't think it will fall."

"Will Santa know which one is mine?"
"Yes, We'll put your name on it."
"Will my presents be put in there?"
"Yes, once you're asleep in bed."



At evening class we were asked to write a poem in the form of a conversation, I had been asked to see if I could do one that didn't rhyme, though I prefer ones that do. This was my attempt.:o :o

[Koa]

oooh good idea to do it in a conversation! original!

[amuse]

reminds me of this Mother Goose rhyme (which i have listed only as "64" in my anthology)

Johnny shall have a new bonnet,
And Johnny shall go to the fair,
And Johnny shall have a blue ribbon
To tie up his bonny brown hair.

And why may not I love Johnny?
And why may not Johnny love me?
And why may not I love Johnny
As well as another body?

And here's a leg for a stocking,
And here's a leg for a shoe,
And he has a kiss for his daddy,
And two for his mammy, I trow.

And why may not I love Johnny?
And why may not Johnny love me?
And why may not I love Johnny
As well as another body?
