" 'Twas The Day After Christmas"

'Twas two days before Christmas when here in our town

The sun was a-shining and the earth was so brown

The temperatures soared to at least fifty-five 

So we got in the car and went for a drive

To Santa Fe Plaza, Zafarano and KMart

Where last minute gifts were tossed into the cart

Then the night before Christmas the town was all lit

With colorful lights that twinkled a bit

We drove around town to see the display

In our car - no horse, no open sleigh

Back home within minutes, our town is so small

We wished Merry Christmas to all

But the day after Christmas we got a surprise

The white stuff was falling just after sunrise

It coated the ground then piled up high

So heavy and thick, it blocked out the sky

The dog was excited to see the new snow

He waited for me, a snowball to throw

We had fun like we did when we lived in the east

Walking through snow, just me and the beast

It occurred to me then, that a person of snow

In our front yard would make a good show

Three balls of snow, a carrot, a hat

The silly snow sculpture appeared, just like that

Then by the fire, we wished friends all good cheer

The day after Christmas and... 

Happy New Year!
