Here is the sunny land of Oz
We rarely receive Christmas snows
How we'd love to be singing
Bing Crosby's lines in melodic rows

As we gather around the barbeque
To roast our sausages and steaks
We'll be keeping an eye out
For flies, mosquitoes and slithering snakes

We'll be dreaming of much cooler climes
Like the ones in the Northern Hemisphere
As we're consuming our gross packs
Of warm Castlemaine ginger beer

Crooning Bing's Christmas rhyme
Will give us all a sense
Of what is it like to have snow falling
Over a hot Aussie backyard fence

I like 10 word poems because it forces you to summarize your thoughts  to the point where you're really only saying what you mean.
Maybe I should try using that same theory in my own life, haha.

spring's gorgeous colors
shall burst forth from their buds
into a gala show
a golden sphere of sunlight
doth grace our patch of landscape
the hills and the gullies
sparkle in its beaming cape
leaves of red hue
adorn the claret ash trees
near our town's hotel
