The Perfect Christmas Tree - Quartette

Every year it's the same dilemma,

how do you find the perfect Christmas tree ?

I like something you can store in a closet

already decorated, not by me.

Those lonely pines in a lot by the roadside

always bring me to tears.

We could adopt a sapling, then

let it grow in the ground for years and years.

We'll ask the heavens what methods saints use.

The perfect answer - let someone else choose.

We all agree on the ideal tree, it's a Three foot fir to plant in the Spring.

As we watch it grow it will always bring

Memories of this merry Christmas morning - together

Let's decorate in the best of taste

old-fashioned beads that swoop and loop around.

I like tinsel in excess

cascading from the tip to the very ground I have a vision of white light

upward stretching I find blinking, flashing, bubbling lights are

seasonal and always fetching.

We'll ask the heavens what methods saints use.

The perfect answer - let someone else choose We all agree on the ideal tree One star twinkles at the very top.

Beads carry on where the white lights stop

Tinsel tells of a merry Christmas morning - together

Our little tree in full regalia

Shines in our eyes like the eighth world wonder, But not really big enough

to fit the presents under it.

I suggest we open all the extras,

that's one solution, Or we could give some away,

that's a more generous resolution.

We ask the heavens what methods saints use.

The perfect answer - let someone else choose We all agree on the ideal tree It sits up proudly on a kitchen crate,

Just a few gifts left, in a happy state

We'll wake up early and celebrate,

Celebrate our Merry Christmas morning - together
