Before I show it to you, I had better explain for my non British friends, that this poem actually has an innuendo and I believe the "cracker" is a typically British Christmas tradition. This is what the Collins English Dictionary explains the meaning of "Cracker" - a decorated cardboard tube that emits a bang when pulled apart, releasing a toy, a joke, or a paper hat. a toy from a Christmas cracker.
I went searching to try and show you what I mean and came across this site which explains more if you wish to go there?
The innuendo? The other meaning of cracker is "she is a cracker" meaning she is good looking.
Anyhow here it is.

What a brilliant poem, really clever! You've made the poem into a lovely card, I'm sure she'll be delighted when she receives it. I didn't realise that crackers are a British thing, you learn something ever day! I googled the differences in Christmas traditions in the U.K. and the U.S. and was surprised how many differences there are. Have a great Christmas, Faith. xx
