Remembering Christmas in Liberia

Berenice Mulubah I wrote this poem in 2016 right around this time of the year. Remembering Christmas in Liberia  Mehn, the celebration there was serious, Pot boiling with jollof rice inside, The Kids dressed up, ready for a fun experience If you have Be prepared to give For every greeting ended with "my Christmas on you." Seeking Christmas trees None to be found But that old man beggar Surely did suffice Good old times Great old times Collecting dimes From my uncle Tilmon Christmas in Liberia What an experience The Fun, the laughter Distance relatives from the interior That's Christmas for you, in Liberia
