These Things Are Ever The Same - A Whoville Inspiration

 



Leaves have fallen

Trees are bare

The holidays are upon us

And you can feel the crisp night air.

 

These things are ever the same

Tra la la la la Tra la la la la

These things are ever the same

 

People humming Christmas songs

People, dogs, and cats wearing Christmas gear

Christmas wreaths on doors and cars

Lawns with lights and brightly lit Christmas deer.

 

These things are ever the same

Tra la la la la Tra la la la la

These things are ever the same

 

Amateur and professional cooks kneading and baking

Children running through Christmas tree lots

Grand parents dusting off Santa costumes

Surprises being planned for little and big tots.

 

These things are ever the same

Tra la la la la Tra la la la la

These things are ever the same

 

Christmas menus are still being planned

Christmas gifts are still being wrapped

Secret Santas are still being held

And Christmas lips are still getting chapped.

 

These things are ever the same

Tra la la la la Tra la la la la

These things are ever the same

 

In the background is 💥the Covid virus

The 2020 grinch trying to turn out the lights

But people of 2020, are we going to let it?

No I hear us say - not on our lives.

 

Because that's who we are

We are ever the same

That's who we are

We are ever the same

 

That's who we are

Tra la la la la 

That's who we are

Tra la la la la

Take that Corona! 💥
