On Boxing Day

The temperatures in the mid twenties the sun is glowing in the blue sky White butterflies dance in the sunlight as around the flower beds they do fly A beautiful day in December the sparrows chirp under the house eaves With a pleasant exotic aroma in the scent from the peppercorn leaves Boxing Day the day after Christmas at the park tables people drink and eat It is a day when friends and families gather in the parkland to meet Coming up to New Year after Christmas at year end they do celebrate The shake hands the hugs and the laughter at a time when one meets a mate A beautiful day for a picnic of sunshine and a gentle breeze The weather temperature going by the forecast a high of 26 degrees The laughter echo in the parkland off of the Main street of the town Of children enjoying themselves greatly as they chase the football up and down On Boxing Day the day after Christmas birds whistle and sing on the trees And families and friends drink and eat in the Townpark and recall their year's memories.
