Christmas Poem 2014

Twas the night before Christmas, and under the big top,

The Circus was sleeping, the fun had been non-stop.

Five little clowns lay snug in their beds

While Mommy and Daddy looked back on the year they had led.

First up, we have Joseph, or clown #1.

He had quite a year, with plenty of fun.

Around the world, this clown did once go.

To the top of the world’s tallest building, went our big bro.

Clown #2, Graham is his name.

Tumbled and flipped into state-wide fame.

Our little gymnast had quite the great season.

Perhaps ten hours a week of practice could be the reason.

Next up is Nicholas, or clown #3.

This boy in the pool is something to see.

Quick as a flash, he swims down to the bottom.

No matter how many rings are down there, Nicholas has got ‘em.

Theo is next, our clown #4.

Our life got so much brighter when he came through the door.

He keeps us all laughing, and gives kisses, too.

Every day is an adventure, filled with something new.

Clown #5 is baby girl Ruthie.

Our happy little baby is really quite goofy.

She smiles while sitting, and is trying to crawl.

She’s very determined to keep up with them all.

Mommy comes next, the manager of our show.

Where else we need to go, she always does know.

Field trips and adventures, for our little school

She works hard to hear, “Mom, this is so cool!”

Last comes the ring master, whom we lovingly call Dad.

Being named the OB/GYN director made him quite glad.

He works hard all day, and comes home to be goofy,

Making all the clowns laugh, especially Miss Ruthie.

We’ve come to the end of our little tale.

Tomorrow, the Circus will put it in the mail.

But before we go, there is something we must say,

“We wish you lots of love and happiness on this Christmas Day!”
