The mice had gathered nuts and seeds
To cater for their winter needs.
They slumbered in the fragrant hay
And woke alert on Christmas Day.
They’d found a perfect place to stay,
A stable where a manger lay:
Warm and safe with room to spare
And nothing to disturb them there.
The choir sang joyous, loud and sweet,
The mice enthralled enjoyed the treat.
Paws clasped together, small hearts rose
The little ones stood on their toes.
A robin sang, and bells were pealing,
Monty’s eyes rose to the ceiling.
High above the owl was sitting,
Eyes half closed and as was fitting
At this time of peace to all
Had taken time to pay a call.
On silent wings he soared away
Whilst hooting Happy Christmas Day.
Boadicea's Chariot 
Nice one Ara. Good to see the competition is hotting up
Thank you, FEEG.
I blame PapaG, it was his idea what did it. 😉
Poor Monty! Nice pome!
Oh, thank you Sipu.
I see you are not really into Happy Endings. 😉
They are very good Sipu. Are you going to enter them into Papag’s competition?
Hi Ara, sorry for hijacking your post. You are welcome to remove it. I can post it separately.
Don’t worry, Sipu. I can cope!
Hi Ara, I did post it here. https://charioteers.org/2014/12/13/christmas-for-monty-and-robin/
No problem, Sipu. It will be much easier to read in one post. I’ll remove it from here then.
