Poem
I ran a string of lights across my roof they twinkled very nicely, So I wrapped some trees out in the back, six of them precisely. I hung a snowflake made of light in each window of my house, My friends were filled with Yuletide cheer I even lit up my spouse. The bushes got draped in lights like a wonderland in winter, Then I ran a long strand around the deck until I got a splinter. I framed each window of my house with a string of sparkling light, They certainly bring a cheerful glow to my neighborhood at night. I have an inflatable manger scene spotlighted in my front yard, With a sleigh for Santa and his reindeer it looks like a Christmas card. My mailbox is a candy cane with red lights twisted around, When opened it plays a song that says Santa is coming to town. Next to the chimney I’ve hung a sign that says “Santa this way please.” I’ve got it lit with floodlights that I’ve hung from the tops of the trees. I’ve rented a surplus searchlight that I’ve rigged with a Santa signal, It scours the clouds above my house looking for old Kris Cringle. I’ve lined the drive with lights to direct Santa to my yard, I borrowed them from the landing strip of the Ohio National Guard. Now when I turn the lights on at night the neighbors stand and shout, Because my display is so darned bright it makes the streets lights all go out.
