Thank You, Snoopy

Nothing is more vital

than the friendship of a good dog

Snoopy, we need you now

long after the Red Baron withdrew

the mighty War Birds

now thankfully silent

Speak to us

of those clear, blue

German skies

tidy little villages

the musical chimes of bells

Goodwill now

in short supply

and much can be said

for turning foes into friends

Snoopy, with your little scarf

flying breezily

through the air

solitary and sincere

you met the Baron

in vibrant blue skies

Here’s a Christmas toast

for your bravery

and extra gratitude

in a time

that begs

the welcoming

of good tidings
