December 11 1992
Was the day a Muppet Christmas Carol premiered
A work of wonder care and compassion
But it was more than that
Jim Henson is and was the personification
Of everything Dickens enshrined in A Christmas Carol
Kind wise and shrewd
He lived every day of his life as if it were Christmas
But on mAy 16, 1990
That candle was snuffed early and tragically
Many felt that it was the end of the Muppets
Disney had bought them
But it was always with the intent Jim keep on
Brian Henson picked up the torch
And voiced the small green Frog
This movie is proof that Henson's dream lived on
Characters that have lived and loved since
The single most touching moment
In one of the most touching movies of all time
Is when Kermit and Tiny Tim
Scat together with Tim on his shoulder
Walking home the first time
And you see
What Brian and his father had.
This movie is Christmas
In more ways than one.
