It was the day after Christmas
and all through the house
not a creature was stirring
not even a mouse
toys were spread
all over the floor
ribbons and wrapping
from door to door
dad was on the sofa
remote in his hand
"sorry honey
the game is on"
mom looks at the kitchen
with dishes stacked high
sticky, gooey crusts
from pieces of pie
I'm going back to bed
she says with a moan
If y'all should get hungry
then you're on your own
Little Johnny was whining
his batteries were dead
so his dear sister Suzie
hit him upside the head
Dear Lord
I just love all this cheer
but I am so glad
it only comes once a year.....
