Mike Hauser

I'd like to start this out by saying

Those simple words
...

I fell headlong into a poem
And was immediately swept away
As words passed by on paddle boats
They pulled me in their wake
...

Wait a minute, is it already Christmas again
Seems I just took down the lights and the tree
Is there no rest for the downtrodden and weary
This season sometimes takes the Merry Gentleman out of me
...
