T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, AGAIN...
T’was the night before Christmas, again…
And all over the places
The old folks were mobile, painting smiles on their faces
The brisket was smokin out back on the deck
And Pa’s acting calm but he’s an emotional wreck…
You see the grandkids are comin, as fast as they can
And soon they will be here, “devices” in hand…
They’ll wind us all up as soon as we’re sittin
And make lots of noise and mess up Ma’s knittin…
Then the food will abound, and bring “Yum’s” all around
Here’s hoping the brisket don’t turn way too brown…
Then boxes and bags, and gifts we’ll review
Assuming that Amazon finally comes through…
Yes, tis the season of givings and goings galore
When we’ll all look forward to eating leftovers some more..
Till then at the end, the carnage we’ll view
Looking forward to January when the bills will come due
When the year is near gone, and the grandkids as well
And Ma and Pa whisper, “I think that went swell”…
Then they’ll smile and sigh, as the kids leave their sight,
And grab the packed bags and head for their flight
In someplace warm and someplace quiet
They’ll look back on December tucked in at the Hyatt…
WISHING YOU AND YOUR'S A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!
