Ode To ChristmasA Poem by ShadowOh Christmas tree oh christmas tree how do i explain what you mean to me you mean presents and gift wraps and lots of ribbon,fun times with family and old mistakes unforgiven
You mean months of trying to find that perfect gift upon which to brag hoping that someone truly does appreciate thoughts more than department store tags you mean Lexus and Hummers and BMW ads,Diamond and ruby's that no one really has
You mean Rudolph and Santa And most of all the Grinch and let us not forget that un-heavenly dead pine needle stench you mean Ralphie and his love of the red rider gun and also the thought of kicking ralphie in the head for fun
You mean Car crashes and sledding accidents in the white powdery snow outside you also mean cold medicine and mom tanning someones hide You mean huge meals with the people you see the least you also mean foul odor when the kids slip the cat too much roast beef
You mean Ice Skating,Bonuses and lots of Bright lights you mean a promise made long ago that everything will be alright
Oh christmas tree oh christmas no one paragraph sums up what you mean to me © 2008 Shadow |
