First Christmas Angels
Angels frolicking in the sky
Playing with the wind
Dancing freestyle
Winging it
between the sunset and the stars
Cartwheels
Somersaults
Loop de loops
Feathers flying
Michael, Gabriel, a choir of others
Six-winged seraphim
Blasting their trumpets,
tubas and trombones
Jangling silver tambourines
Ringing golden bells.
Swooping through the stable doors
Running clucking with the chickens
Tickling fat-tailed winter sheep
Laughing with the cows
Popping up this way and that
Tossing straw around the stable
Joy to the world good and loud
Shouting yoo-hoo to the shepherds
Come see a special newborn lamb
There are camels with their wise men
not too far behind
Tonight’s the night to whoop it up
Peace on earth tomorrow
