T'was the day after Christmas
and all through my place
the de-christmasing is happening
at a full throttle pace
take down the lights
the tree must go
unstring the garland
toss the mistletoe
the stockings that hung on the
mantle with care
now leave dust and fingerprints
in a spot that is bare
as quick as it went up
it comes down faster
for sweet children
I learn from the master (my mom)
it's a family tradition
I hold so true
pack up the decorations
when Christmas is through
bring on the Windex, the order,
no less
in with 2008
& good night Christmas mess!
