The Holiday Season
The holiday season
is almost here,
and I’ve always loved
this time of year.
I got the fireplace going
and the logs are popping,
and I just can’t wait
to start my Christmas shopping.
I gonna buy a turkey
and do lots of cooking,
and for some fancy recipes
I’ll be on pinterest looking.
I’m gonna get some beans and taters
and some cranberry sauce,
and I’ll sing frosty the snowman
just like a boss.
I’ll go to my dresser
and I’ll slide open the drawer,
and get out my long johns
like my ol’ pappy wore.
They’re red in color
and have a flap on the rear,
which makes going easy
when I get the all clear.
I’ve got my leaves raked
and my gutters clean,
and the place is taking on
a festivus scene.
My tomatoes are wilted
and there’s frost on the grass,
and I must call atmos
to come turn on the gas.
The squirrels are fat
and have tiny round guts,
and digging little holes
and dropping their nuts.
The birds are hunched
and all huddled together,
they seem to be dreading
the cold wintry weather.
Yep it’s that time again
that I truly love to see,
and now I must go to the attic
and get down my tree.:)
