Jingle Jingle

Jingle jingle goes Kris Kringle,
As he polishes his sleigh,
Neat and prim, filled to the brim,
With presents on display.

Jingle jingle goes Kris Kringle,
As he harnesses the reindeer,
See Rudolph's nose as it shines and glows,
It will make you laugh and cheer.

Jingle jingle goes Kris Kringle,
As he rockets through the night,
On Dasher, on Dancer, on Comet, on Blitzen,
What an incredible sight!

Jingle jingle goes Kris Kringle,
As he ambles through the snow,
Down the chimney he slides, barely touching the sides,
Leaving presents and soot prints in tow.

Jingle jingle goes Kris Kringle,
As he lands at his North Pole grotto,
Now he must sleep, drink warm milk and count sheep,
Until next year, be good, ho ho ho!

About the Writer


Jacoby Crane

Jacoby is an eccentric artist living in Derbyshire. They spend their time baking, making peculiar things, doodling doodles and writing oddities, currently they're focusing on poetry and working on a children's fantasy novel called Lumi. Jacoby's inspiration mostly comes from their unusual dreams and the weirdly wonderful things their kids quote, but their muse comes in the forms of Neil Gaiman and Chris Riddell.
