[ X-mas 2020 ] Here he comes a caroling
Never late to the party
wisemen come
and wisemen go
while I've never claimed to know
much about anything
Bereft of any worldly gift to give
enhancing the life you want to live
I'm hardly what you'd call
an earthly king
Don't even have a drum to beat
for what rhythm there ain't
between two left feet
All I really have?
is a song in my heart
that I can't even sing
worth a damn
Well . . .
the aforementioned
not being quite true
I am incredibly blessed
with plenty of Love for you
and I suppose these words
alone must suffice as wrapping
Take my advice though
for next year's Holidays:
save this paper, ribbon, and bow
because lately these days
Love is the only thing
in this world worth regifting
It's what makes the Earth go round;
weight in gold n silver of which
worth every pound too—
this uplifting Spirit of Christmas
abundantly abound in me
that I first received from you

Humility in composure carries. Savvy work, Johnny

"It's what makes the Earth go round;" certainly makes life worth living.
It's a nice touch, affectionately and respectful, in true admiration of the human soul in the way present this.
Hope you are enjoying the holidays and that the new year is prosperous.
Thanks for sharing.

For example: wise men come/ and wise men go. Here you are talking about poets.
Then: l'm hardly what you'd call
an earthly king.
What's the relationship between, an earthly king and poets?
By the way, why don't you punctuate?

Re. Here he comes a caroling
I do punctuate. I just don't often end lines with commas or sentences with endstops because there is no need to.
Actually, I'm refering to people with wisdom and then claiming not to be as wise as them.
