Big Bird's Ticklish Christmas

A little poem to brighten your Christmas. :)

Twas Christmas time on Sesame Street,
But Big Bird felt quite grumpy
"I wanted these gifts to look pretty," he
wailed, "but instead they look quite lumpy!"

But then that bird began to smile. And
then he started wriggling.
Someone was tickling him, you see! Soon
Big Bird started giggling!

What happened next sounds silly, but it's
absolutely true.
Some Christmas shoppers heard him...
and they started laughing, too!

Next there passed some carolers singing
"Fa la la la la!"
They heard the laughs, then changed
their tune to "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

Around the corner Prairie Dawn was
trimming a Christmas tree.
She heard the people laughing and began
to tee hee hee!

Cookie was making Christmas treats,
sprinkling them with glitter.
Some people walked by laughing, so he
started to giggle and titter!

One person would start laughing, then
another one would hear.
Soon everyone on Sesame Street had
caught the Christmas cheer!

The whole world now was laughing.
Who had started it?
Do YOU know?

A monster filled with Christmas cheer-
you guessed it:
Your friend Elmo!
