Chapter 2: Christmas Children:
Bob Cratchit's POV:
My children, Kathy and Tiny Tim were on our way home... after doing the best we could, shopping.
Bob: Christmas children peep into Christmas windows
See a world as pretty as a dream
Kathy: Christmas trees and toys
Tiny Tim: Christmas hopes and joys
Bob: Christmas puddings rich with Christmas cream
Christmas presents shine in the Christmas windows
Christmas boxes tied with pretty bows
Kathy: Wonder what's inside
Tiny Tim: What delights they hide
Bob: But 'till Christmas morning
No one knows
Kathy: Won't it be exciting if it snows
Kathy/Tiny Tim: I suppose that children everywhere
Will say a Christmas prayer
Bob: 'Till Santa brings
Their Christmas things
Christmas children live in a Christmas daydream
Waiting for the magic to unfold
Tiny Tim: Wondrous things we'll eat
Kathy: Every Christmas treat
Bob: Rich or not a Christmas pot of gold
Hypnotizes children young and old
I suppose that children everywhere
Will say a Christmas prayer
'Till Santa brings
Their Christmas things
Christmas children hunger for Christmas morning
Christmas day's a wonder to behold
Young ones' dreams come true
Not so young ones too
I believe that story we've been told
Christmas is for children young and old!
We don't have many much, but at least we have each other. I just wish Mr. Scrooge would pay me more.
