A Little Christmas Spirit Poem by Joseph Anderson
A Little Christmas Spirit
'Tis the day before Christmas
And I'm stuck in the mall,
The traffic is moving
At barely a crawl.
There's snow on the rooftops,
The roadways and lawns;
That's good for old Santa,
But rough on his pawns.
My homecoming family
Is stranded out there;
The reason is simple,
They are coming by air.
My internet purchases
Have yet to arrive;
And come Christmas morning
They'll skin me alive.
I tried to send greetings,
But failed with my fax;
I've extended my credit
Right up to the max.
I'm going to sweep this
Far under the rug
And settle my nerves
With a hearty 'Humbug'.
Tonigt, I'll thaw turkey
And pour myself sherry,
Get warm, snug and cozy
And make myself merry.
At this special moment,
Perhaps I should write-
Merry Christmas to all,
Just don't get uptight.
Very inspirational and full of the Christmas spirit. Fun, soothing, and such a joy to read. Perfect rhyme scheme. And I hope your Christmas was full of pure JOY, Joseph - as merry as thgis delightful poem.
What an excellent and such a great take done here with your poem! Hope you had a great Christmas afterall, and wishes for a great New Year! {{{hugs}}}
What a fun write! And I can completely understand this one for certain! So well stated Joseph. Your way with words and humor is very refreshing. Glad I found this one, I feel much better already! Thanks.......... and: Merry-Christmas to you! ! !
Thanks for this poem, dear Joseph, touching on the core values of what it is to be human- with gentleness, humility, love and compassion.
Must tuck this one away for Christmas Joe. Next year I have a host of twenty two great grandchildren heading my way. Sadly, great grandma left us for pastures new, though she would have loved to give me that moral support. :)
To a Dear Fellow, I really adore this poem. To bad I did not read this before Christmas, If you didn't get a handle over the holidays it would be very hard to get through it. Thanks for the timely or should I say untimely (smile) tips.
