Today is going to be a great day. Whatever you have planned is going to go just swimmingly. Remember to watch for those little moments that are just for you.And if you're reading this Post-HolidayFestivities, then:
Yay!! You survived the holiday! You can sit down and enjoy the next little while in the quiet, just you, your cup of whatever and a candle. We'll have a nice little visit.
I'm so glad I know you! You deserve some poetry. Last year I wrote you a sonnet for Christmas.
It. Was. Awesome.
Seriously.
As I mentioned then, I am no poet and I don't pretend to be one. If I ever write a masterpiece it will be accidental. The only goal I have is that I write an interesting poem.
As in: That was......interesting. *cough*
Luckily, that bar is pretty low.
This year I have written a poem a la William Carlos Williams' 'The Red Wheel Barrow', which is a fine, fine poem.
Feel free to leave your own rural redneck poems in the comments.
I hope you have a wonderful day today. Thanks so much for being here!
Rurification Christmas Poem 2013
So much depends
upon
not running out
of tape
before all the gifts
are wrapped.
If all the tags
are switched
by little hands
who reach
to 'help you please',
then know
that half the fun
will be
in seeing grandma's
surprised face
when she opens her box of
deer scent
and the peals
of glee
as everyone
looks around
to see if what they got
was meant
just for them.
Or not.
The End. In case you wondered.
