Through the season, bells will ring.
Folks dress up and carols sing,
Trees are dressed with candy canes,
Lights and tinsel, popcorn chains.
Everywhere, you’ll see the holly.
Without a doubt – Starsky’s jolly!
On the streets, the homeless try
Finding shelter, keeping dry,
Dirty faces, lonely eyes,
Hoping for the gift of smiles.
Their suffering is all too much
And helps to make a grumpy Hutch.
A helping hand is deserved;
Doors thrown open, hot meals served;
Blond and brunet, side by side,
Help to cheer this Christmas tide.
They’re sharing Christmas, Starsky and Hutch,
Because gifts of friendship mean so much.
‘Round the world, angels winging
Seeking joy, care and giving,
Spying thoughtful love and pity
On the streets of our Bay City:
This simple seasonal reminder
To leave the world a little kinder.
Lovely. I like the idea of Starsky going along with Hutch to do some volunteering, and realising how much he gets out of it too. Thank you!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it 🙂
Their hearts are always in the right place. Beautiful holiday lyrics! ❄️🌲⛄💚❤️💚❤️
Thank you for the kind comments. Have a great Christmas 🌲
Beautiful! Just the right thing to start the 4th Advent weekend with!
Thank you! Glad you think it fits the season 🎄
Lovely, Lapfordlass, really nice. And we all need to pay attention to those final two lines, don’t we? Thanks for this sweet gift.
Thank you and yes, in these difficult times, I think we all need to try even harder!
Aw! This is wonderful Caroline. So sweet, and just the sort of thing the boys would do. Lovely and heartwarming. X
Thanks Linda. Glad you liked it 🙂
How is it that you can get me to like your poetry, when I have NEVER been a fan of poetry? I really do like this.
Carol, I don’t know!!! The funny thing is I have been moved by the odd poem over the years but never actively sought poetry out. Now I can’t stop writing it 🤣
Beautiful. Thank you.
Glad you liked it 🙂
Oh excellent! I like this a lot!
Thank you. Glad you liked it!

Beautiful and true! Thank you Lapfordlass.
You’re welcome! Happy Christmas!
Very poignant and touching. Our guys would help out the needy whenever and wherever they can.
Thank you for your kind comment.
As with your other works that I’ve read, this poem delivers on several feel-good levels. Thanks!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it Maria.
Beautiful and soooo them. Starting with the Pilot when Hutch gave the dollar to ‘Lijah, S&H always had a soft spot for the marginalized and disenfranchised.
I especially love the last two lines.
Thanks Lauren! So glad you liked it!
Aww, that was nice of Hutch and Starsky to volunteer!
Hi Robbin, they both care so much, I think that’s what they would do. Glad you liked the idea!
Very sweet–and so them. I like that they are helping out the poor at Christmas.
A little kindness goes a long way 💖 Thanks, Lapfordlass!
