Christmas Countdown Poem 2024: 1. Mariah Is Coming


I can hear Mariah Carey,
I can feel her in my brain,
That opening chord of Christmas,
Is going round and round again.
***
They’ve added Bublé to the water,
He’s fizzing all around,
Singing of past Christmases,
And snow on the ground.
***
The voices of Christmas awaken,
Like the great old ones below,
They howl out their cries,
To signal Christmas is a go.
