The New Christmas Tree
The tree in the corner shimmered with tinsel
A tradition I remember from Christmases past,
With bright colored bulbs and glittery roping
We filled the stand with water to make it last.
This year it was replaced by aluminum fronds
And twinkling lights pre-installed at the store,
No water required, it will last forever and ever
An improvement, eh? I say “Nay, what a bore!”
