Poem

I had a red jeep once,
my husband rigged it up with
Christmas lights on the running board.
I was puffed up about it.

My grandparents had the best
Christmas lights; they were jewel-toned,
and bubbled up and down, like a lava lamp,
before lava lamps were a thing, back in
the 50's.

my parents had the same boring, drab,
fat-bulbed  red, blue, green, and orangish-yellow
Christmas lights. We wanted something better, but
these were already paid for.

The best Christmas light was the time I put on a Sunday
School play with 85 children. My vision was to rig up a giant
white star in the back of someone's pick up truck, and the children and their parents would all follow the lit up star from the church to
the sale barn, which was our stable.  

I had to call all of the people in the church directory, because no one could figure out how to do it until I reached a man whose last name began with a Z.  I think I can do that he said, and he did!
I will never forget the awesomeness of this Christmas light though; it was my all-time favorite Christmas light. The procurement of it was awful at the time, but is so sweet in the memory now.  So worth the trouble!
