"Christmas is now over!" "Did you get that Rover?" "How about that red dress?" "That young man's address?" "Did you get a new television?" "With remote and Outhouse Vision?" "Did you get a toy that was problematic?" "Because of your house's heat and static." "Did you get that ugly doll without clothes?" "With uneven kinky hair and a runny nose." "One that will throw up and pee a big river." "Or one to take out their organs and liver." "How about that cheap car with no batteries?" "Forgetting them, your parents tried flatteries." "They promised you a blasting black boom box." "Instead, you were given a stuffed smelly red fox." "Your dad forgot to get Michael Jordon's shoe." "Saying that Michael could only give up one canoe." "Did you get that long awaited shiny gold ring?" "You know the one; that will walk and sing." "How about that eighteen inch gold plated chain?" "That will turn green from the slightest cold rain." "Did you buy him that funny looking stiff pajama?" "Hoping that he will call you his Sweet Mama." "Did you get that red expensive leather briefcase?" "How about something for your dry wrinkled face?" "Everything you bought, you must take it back." "Your precious time, you will cherish and lack." "So next time, do your Christmas shopping at home." "Rewrapping old worn presents; never to roam."

Reason for writing:
Christmas is now over, what a relief. Then the frantic pace of
returns will start everywhere. Nevermind that it will take the
rest of the year to pay the bills off. This poem is from my
Christmas collection. "Happy Holidays!"
