T’was three days before Christmas and all through the house
Not a person was helping, not even my spouse …
The children were restless and what made it worse …
I at my computer typed nonsensical verse!
When what to my poor bloodshot
eyes did I see,
But the calendar with three days left glaring at me!!
So off to the kitchen I flew like a flash …
Tore open the cupboards made a mad dash.
Baking my cookies and stirring
my fudge,
Dozing by the sink till someone gave me a nudge!
I still have the presents to wrap, and bows to tie
and the house is a disaster I thought with a sigh …
I looked ‘round at the mayhem
and thought to myself …
Next year will be different … I’ll organise myself!!
I laughed when I heard the traditional phrase
That was made every year and forgot in just days …
So to all who know me I have
only one thing to say …
Merry Christmas to all …
JUST DON’T GET IN MY WAY!!
