A Christmas Thought
the day arrives
long wait over
excitement
anticipation
giving
getting
downside though
felt by many
feeling blue
empty feeling
one day
does not
make a year
happiness squeezed
24 hours
gifts are nice
feelings shared
a kind word
best gift
of all
to be loved
to love someone
all year round
best gift of all

Christmas Shopping
time of year
shopping timeolden days
weather would put
one in the mood
days grow shorter
nights grow longer
had ideas
what to buy
look in wallet
fiances meager
thoughts flittered about
thinking what said
likes and dislikes
many to buy for
what to get
plenty of time
will get to it
shopping at the mall
shuddering at the thought
not man's forte
hunter not gatherer
pressure builds
must get done
how many days
until Christmas
oh my
last day
time gone
time wasted
off to shop
shelves are bare
must buy now
on the run
store to store
one for this one
one for that one
sweating now
clock is ticking
music in background
all a blur
dragging bags
doors close soon
one left to buy for
as see on TV
that will do
done
that wasn't bad
shopping done
six hours or less
that was fun
wrap the gifts?
oh no!
