Crack-A-Time

When this trio of nutcrackers appears,

Christmas time is near.

Like the Queen’s guard they stand without chatter,

strong and resolved as football linebackers,

nothing but supporting holiday fun matters.

Keep them in sight if what you are after,

are good times and laughter.

Watch while these stellar nutcrackers,

without a move or a word become holiday rappers,

and turn twinkling tree lights into festive firecrackers.
