Inflatable Christmas

Christmas lights on almost every house And in the yard, a newer sight Santas, Snowmen, and Penguins too Bouncing about, as if to take flight Tethered by air hoses and plastic spikes They strain and dance in their plight But in the morning they lay in a heap Not such a cheerful or uplifting sight Christmas cheer comes again at dark A tribute to some decorating fun Magical creatures again sit upright Alive again until dawn has come
