Contented Christmas

'twas the day of Christmas
and back in the fridge
the casserole dish
sat like a bridge
it spanned the turkey
and leaned on the cake
the coconut one
that's so hard to make
dad will eat dinner
and snack all night
fork marks are fresh
in the yams on the right
the toys in the floor
are scattered around
with not a fresh battery
here to be found
and what of those toys
so new today
the boxes it seems
are more fun for play
but the family peace
on this busy day
is more than any
old poem can say
coisins and kin
get ready to go
outside on the lawn
some new flakes of snow
the noise, the aroma
of this special day
will last us a year
as we go on our way

Merry Christmas,
