‘Twas the day after
Christmas
And all through the home
I am finally relieved
For a moment alone.
The stores are all having
Their post-Christmas sales,
Plus all the returns for
The gifts that were fails.
Back to reality
The post-Christmas calm
But my house looks a
little
Like it got hit by a bomb
And the leftovers
Wrapped up, packed away,
End up on my hips.
(What the heck do I
weigh?!)
This brief little
down-time
Will not last too long;
It’s time for a list
Of all I do wrong
So I can pretend to make
Some resolutions -
As if 2015 has
Magic solutions.
I’d like to lose ten
pounds,
Or fifteen, or twenty,
But I am too lazy;
I like my chair plenty.
I’ve got five more days
Too try and be good,
To plan out my life
The way that I should.
At my age I’m lucky,
And luck will be taken –
I consider it lucky
If daily I waken.
So folks, it’s that time –
That holiday lull –
When all our bad habits
Are voided and null.
Enjoy this quick break
With no stress and no fear
Because in a few days
It will be the New Year.
Here’s to some planning
Xmas holiday –
I’m going to start
shopping
GET OUT OF MY WAY!
GET OUT OF MY WAY!
We all will exclaim
As the old year does pass:
“Next Christmas will NOT
Bite me right in the ass!”
