Description |
greeting card with a handwritten note on the outside, a poem and a print on the inside handwritten note on the outside: 'Our best wishes for a very Merry Christmas, Mary and Lee Sturges' poem on inside: El Burro's Christmas Eve Above the charcoal burner's hut The smoke drifts toward the rising sun. El Burro flaps his ears and blinks. His morning has begun. By noon, he has clambered down the trail And clops along the cobble stones, Bearing his charcoal on a double yoke For Christmas fires of the city folk. Throughout the long crisp afternoon At "La Cantina's" cay portal He stamps and waits, While Juan, his master, celebrates. Then, home again, when Christmas stars Burn clean and bright. El Burro knows the way, Where mountain pines are crackling in the frost. It's Christmas Eve tonight. He'll not let Juan get lost! L.S.M. |
