THIS IS THE TREE THAT JILL TRIMMED

by Laura Renauld

This is the tree that Jill trimmed.

This is the star that shone from the tree that Jill trimmed.

This is the cat that swatted the star

That shone from the tree that Jill trimmed.

This is the dog that leapt at the cat

That swatted the star that shone from the tree that Jill trimmed.

This is the boy that chased the dog

That leapt at the cat that swatted the star

That shone from the tree that Jill trimmed.

This is the twin with the mischievous grin

That tripped the boy that chased the dog

That leapt at the cat that swatted the star

That shone from the tree that Jill trimmed.

This is the Mom with patience so thin

That scolded the twin with the mischievous grin

That tripped the boy that chased the dog

That leapt at the cat that swatted the star

That shone from the tree that Jill trimmed.

This is the Dad with the dimpled chin

That soothed the Mom with patience so thin

That scolded the twin with the mischievous grin

That tripped the boy that chased the dog

That leapt at the cat that swatted the star

That shone from the tree that Jill trimmed.

This is the house full of holiday din

That cheered the Dad with the dimpled chin

That soothed the Mom with patience so thin

That scolded the twin with the mischievous grin

That tripped the boy that chased the dog

That leapt at the cat that swatted the star

That shone from the tree that Jill trimmed.

These are the memories created within

That warmed the house full of holiday din

That cheered the Dad with the dimpled chin

That soothed the Mom with patience so thin

That scolded the twin with the mischievous grin

That tripped the boy that chased the dog

That leapt at the cat that swatted the star

That shone from the tree that Jill trimmed.
