Another too, too cute poem! You, my friend, have been bitten by the Christmas bug. Love the poem and smiled all the way through. The very first line made me remember a story a friend from Iran told me. He's blind, and his cane hit one side of the manhole, then the other, and Baba fell inside! He wasn't hurt, and always chuckled about 'man falling in the man hole', so it was a good story. A super job here, and another good picture book candidate. Blessings, D

Six drummers drumming played Jingle Bells with glee
when one collided with an elf and broke his knobby knee.
Five drummers drumming looked grand with every stride
till one slipped on a patch of ice and hurt his manly pride
As I read, I could "see" this parade of drummers and the accident that befell each. this is quite cleverly written and fun to read. the two stanzas above are my favorite. They brought smiles to my lips.

Funny and clever way of promoting persistence, Brooke. (Although I have to say, if I were the last drummer, I'd like more than just a shake of Santa's hand as my reward. Maybe a new drum or new drumming companions?)
This has a great drumming beat to it. Appropriate. :)
I enjoyed all the various mishaps the drummers found themselves in: a manhole, pothole, broken knee, and (my favorites) the hiccups and sneezes.
Amazing what things can distract us from a goal, isn't it? Physical ailments, environmental disasters, absurdist philosphy, taunts of onlookers. Only when we keep marching until the "bitter end" do we get to shake Santa's hand and hear that "good job, my friend." A parable within a funny Christmas poem. Excellent and fun. LK

Ha! Ha! What a humorous poem. One could almost view the decline of the drummers as they marched along. May I make a small suggestion? At the end when Santa said "Good job, my friend", place the word 'drummer' between my and friend. It has a better flow to it. "Good job my drummer friend." All the best to you.

Comment from CT Brandon
Very funny little poem here. For some reason I see this with some pretty funny art in a sort of demented childrens book. Then again I may just be a little odd like that. Either way, I enjoyed it.

Thank you, CT - I appreciate your wonderful comments. I would LOVE to write a series of demented children's books :-) When I was in sixth grade a book got passed around my class about manners, called What do you say, Dear? It made me fall in love with demented children's books :-) Brooke

Hi, Brooke, What a light hearted and catchy holiday poem. Those poor broken drummers are going to have to start their own support group! Kudos on this creative Christmas season poem. Mary

Comment from Sonya Florentino
loved this humurous Christmas poem....i would have loved to be in that parade cheering them on! Bravo to the last drummer though...that's the right spirit for Christmas or for any season....
on the 2nd stanza though, should "when" be replaced by "while"?
Christmas greetings to you!

While people stared makes it sound like they are staring at his running away instead of his running away because they are staring at his accident. Hope that makes sense. :-) Thank you so so so much for this most generous rating and thoughtful comments, Sonya :-) Brooke

Dear Brooke,
A funny Christmas story with a moral. I do hope Santa gave him more than a handshake. A sip from his hip flask would be in order, methinks.
Regards
