A Christmas Tale
By Anthony E
In the cold North Pole
Where the snow always falls
There were two best friends
One small and one tall
Bunny wore his only scarf
It was as red as a rose
Snowman had two eyes of coal
And a bright orange carrot nose
It was early on Christmas Eve
With lights and presents everywhere
But they did not have much money
To buy each other presents this year.
Bunny loved his red scarf
It kept him warm from the cold
But he wrapped it up for Snowman
It was a gift from his heart and soul
Snowman went to the Farmer’s Market
Carrots were Bunny’s favorite food
But Snowman did not have enough money
Now what was he going to do?
The next morning the sun arose
Christmas was finally here
Bunny had his present all wrapped
It was his favorite time of year
Snowman came down from the east
The sun shined brightly over the cliffs
Bunny could not see Snowman’s face
As he held Snowman’s Christmas gift
Snowman untied the bow
And unwrapped the scarf of red
A smile stretched across his white snow
As Snowman bowed his frosty head
Snowman handed Bunny a present
It was put inside a long thin box
Bunny opened it with a smile on his face
While Snowman looked up and watched
Bunny unwrapped his present
It was a carrot, bright orange and long
Bunny looked at Snowman
And Snowman’s carrot nose was gone
They both held their presents and laughed
A Christmas hug, pure joy and a tear or two
It’s amazing when you think of others
Best Friends have a way of coming through
