Paint me a picture of January! Make it pretty and make it merry. Put in snow banks piled to the skies, Put in icicles of giant size. See that the wind is rushing past, See that the trees bend to the blast!
I’ll paint you a picture of January- And I’ll make it pretty and I’ll make it merry! But it will not have the wintry skies, Or the great icicles of giant size. My picture will be of a baby small, Wearing you-know-what- and that is all!
Which just that moment shouted his birth. His smile so young, his face so sweet, A fine, little chap you’re glad to meet. Underneath my picture in letters clear, He will say to you, “Happy New Year!”
There's a new ME this year, An on-time ME, A clean-desk ME, A first-to-hand-in-assignments ME, A listens-in-class-to-the-teacher ME, A teacher's-pet-for-the-first-time-in-my-life ME, An-always-willing-to-be-good-and-help-out ME, A dead-serious-get-the-word-done-and-hand-it-in Before-it's-due ME.
Little January Tapped at my door today. And said, “Put on your winter wraps, And come outdoors to play.” Little January Is always full of fun; Today we coasted down the hill, Until the set of sun. Little January Will stay a month with me And we will have such jolly times- Just come along and see.

JANUARY “The Old Clock” by Lenore Hetrick It was the dark of the midnight hour. The Old Clock eagerly waited. “I strike the New Year in,” he said. “For so it has been fated. A hundred years I’ve ushered in! Full well I like my task. I think myself supremely blessed, No finer work I ask.
“A hundred years!” the Old Clock said. “Just think of the changing times! Think of the history in the making! It’s a subject for ringing rhymes!” “I strike the New Year in!” said Old Clock, “And now the hour is here!” The Old Clock solemnly lifted its going – And struck in another New Year.
The sky is dark and the ground is white, The world is peaceful on this wintry night. No one around, not a sound to be heard. Not a laugh, not a car, not even a bird. For a moment, it's just the snow and me. I smile inside. I feel so free.

Title- Winter, Winter
Winter, winter
Cold and ice
A mug of hot chocolate
Would be nice
Winter, winter
Long dark nights
Kids bundle up
For snowball fights

ReplyDeleteA Picture of January

Paint me a picture of January!
Make it pretty and make it merry.
Put in snow banks piled to the skies,
Put in icicles of giant size.
See that the wind is rushing past,
See that the trees bend to the blast!
I’ll paint you a picture of January-
And I’ll make it pretty and I’ll make it merry!
But it will not have the wintry skies,
Or the great icicles of giant size.
My picture will be of a baby small,
Wearing you-know-what- and that is all!
Which just that moment shouted his birth.
His smile so young, his face so sweet,
A fine, little chap you’re glad to meet.
Underneath my picture in letters clear,
He will say to you, “Happy New Year!”
Introducing the New ME!

There's a new ME this year,
An on-time ME,
A clean-desk ME,
A first-to-hand-in-assignments ME,
A listens-in-class-to-the-teacher ME,
A teacher's-pet-for-the-first-time-in-my-life ME,
An-always-willing-to-be-good-and-help-out ME,
A dead-serious-get-the-word-done-and-hand-it-in
Before-it's-due ME.
The problem is
The new ME
Is not like ME
At all.

It was the dark of the midnight hour.
The Old Clock eagerly waited.
“I strike the New Year in,” he said.
“For so it has been fated.
A hundred years I’ve ushered in!
Full well I like my task.
I think myself supremely blessed,
No finer work I ask.
“A hundred years!” the Old Clock said.
“Just think of the changing times!
Think of the history in the making!
It’s a subject for ringing rhymes!”
“I strike the New Year in!” said Old Clock,
“And now the hour is here!”
The Old Clock solemnly lifted its going –
And struck in another New Year.
Welcome, New Year

Welcome the New Year,
Let the bells ring!
Lift up your voices;
Everyone sing!
The New Year’s beginning;
Start it off right.
Bid it good fortune
And welcome tonight.
The Old Year is passing,
But there’s none to mourn.
We are rejoicing;
The New Year is born!

The sky is dark and the
ground is white,
The world is peaceful on
this wintry night.
No one around, not a
sound to be heard.
Not a laugh, not a car,
not even a bird.
For a moment, it's just
the snow and me.
I smile inside.
I feel so free.
