A Yuletide Fix

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: January 4, 2009

Delaying the post-holiday withdrawals…

Remind me, please, why Christmas trees
are now down at the curb.

Remind me, please, why Christmas trees
are now down at the curb.
And twinkle lights that lit the night
are gone. I'm so disturbed.

Why must we rush to end the hush
of silent holy nights?
I always thought tradition taught
twelve days made Christmas right.

I hate the squeeze. So, if you please
don't pack up ‘til the sixth
Though New Years passed, don't act too fast.
Enjoy the Yuletide fix.
