Geronimo And The Talking Christmas Tree.

One very chilly afternoon,

Geronimo and Jane,

Went to the garden Centre,

Which was just along the lane.

The purpose of the visit,

Was to buy some decorations,

Which would be ideal for parties,

And Christmas celebrations!

But by the time they got there,

The shop was very full,

And so the grumpy Teddy,

A sullen face did pull!

“Oh this gets even worse!” he groaned,

“I’m just a little Bear,

So I will never get through,

The massive crowd in there!”

His special friend looked up at him,

And murmured “Never mind,

I’ll nip in very quickly,

And see what I can find!”

But as she went into the shop,

Bear turned his face away,

“Oh wonderful!” he muttered,

“This is my lucky day!”

He stood there like a lemon,

Feeling very, very snappy,

Then someone giggled “Cheer up mate,

You should be looking happy!”

“Oh lovely!” groaned our grumpy chum,

“A cheerful little child,

But if they keep on teasing me,

I’ll end up going wild!”

“Just go away!” he shouted,

“I can’t get in the shop,

And if you don’t stop bugging me,

Then I will blow my top!”

But the voice continued speaking,

It said “Don’t shout at me,

My Christian name is Tony,

I’m a talking Christmas tree!”

Geronimo glanced upwards,

And saw that it was true,

“I feel a proper twit!” he squealed,

“Whatever shall I do?”

“Do nothing,” answered Tony,

With a twinkle in his eye,

“You’ve crossed your biggest hurdle,

And now you’re home and dry!”

“I never talk to grown ups,

But I saw you looking low,

And thought that I would cheer you up,

By putting on a show!”

“Oh thank you!” smiled the little Bear,

“I think that you are great,

To learn more of your secrets,

I simply cannot wait!”

The Christmas tree bowed quickly,

And then what do you think?

He danced around the patio,

And didn’t even blink!

As soon as he had finished,

Our Hero cried “Hooray!

Those moves were quite fantastic,

I was really blown away!”

“Oh really it was nothing,”

Replied the modest Tony,

“But this unique performance,

Was meant for your eyes only!

I don’t want any grown ups,

To know that I am real,

So you must promise faithfully,

That you will never squeal!”

“Don’t worry,” Smiled our Furry Friend,

“Your secrets safe with me,

And when my mate comes out the shop,

So tactful I will be!”

As he finished off his sentence,

Little Jane came running out,

She said “You look much happier,

Of that there is no doubt!”

 

“Oh well,” Beamed our Geronimo,

“Today’s not been too bad,

And to carry all the shopping home,

I’d now be jolly glad.”

As he left the garden Centre,

He looked over at the tree,

Who was standing in the corner,

Looking normal as could be!

THE END.
