Tis the night before Xmas

 

Twas the night before Christmas

And we're in Dubai

Our hotel bed is jankey

So its on the floor we lie.

We two are obvious tourists

We both have silly hats

Take pictures of things like street signs 

And can't stop admiring the feral cats.

We visit Burj Khalifa

The worlds tallest building, they say

View the Burj Al Arab

And dip our toes along the way.

We've taxied and we've trammed,

And we've bused and we've train-ed

We've traveled countless miles

Without snow or a drop of rain.

Christmas across cultures

There's still holiday here

Jingle bells blends to the music

Of the Mosque's call to prayer.

 Tomorrow shall be Christmas

But all I need is here tonight

Wren and our adventure

Is my Christmas Eve delight.
