As per the Dutch tradition in my family, our kris kindle gifts come with some fun rhyme. I received my younger brother this year and attempted the acrostic style. The first letter of each verse spells his name. Merry Christmas all!
Three wise men from the dark of night
Bring gifts for you today
A star shines bright upon our king
You are cradled in gold hay
Hark! The herald angels sing
Your unemployment ends
More stars are born, so make your wish
We hear all church bells ring
Only but the best degree
Pass? Merit? No! Distinction. Please!
A genius king, you wear your crown
So let us now all bow
Merely not a scientist just
But also an engineer
A writer, reader, thinker, joker
We lay our palms before you
And stars shine bright above your life
Your tunes seal wedding vows
For all you have achieved lately
We blow our trumpets high
Sing your song and dance your dance
Let the dough begin to roll
The stories of your prodigy
Will forevermore be told!
