‘Twas the night before Xmas and all through the blogs,/
Not a creature was stirring, not even the dogs;/
The wordsmiths had hung up their plotting of posts,/
And shelved all the diaries, the stories and boasts;/
It seemed all the ostomy articles slowed/
While outside in some places snow swirled and blowed/
(If you’re thinking that “blowed” should have really been “blew,”/
That’s okay, ‘cause I’m dealing with rhyming – who knew?)./
Anyway, it’s tomorrow, that glorious what’d-you-buy day/
When we all can relax as thank gawd it’s Friday,/
While tonight all the children, if they haven’t left home,/
Will be all snuggled up, but not reading this poem,/
All the last minute shoppers will head home with their stuff,/
Tired feet, empty wallets, and thoughts of “Enough!”/
The merchants will count all the money they got/
And hope all the ads that they ran weren’t for naught./
Then up in the sky, you believers may think,/
Rose a sleigh and some reindeer, don’t blink/
Or you’ll miss the excitement the alleged St. Nicholas/
Can offer this season that may tickle us,/
All the giving of gifts, all the hoopla, and gee/
Let us not omit mentioning NFL on TV./
Even tho’ HenryM isn’t brimming with spirit,/
The holiday music is great… can you hear it?/
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, OSTOMATES.
