Poem
Hereafter in the times of tomorrows yesterday, Came the development of an exhilarating Christmas holiday. Sometime earlier than the present time, This holiday was old fashioned through out mankind. World-wide festivities nowadays have come, All the wonders of advancement has finally begun. Santa's automobile has but only two wheels, Placed on each side of his shatter proof shields. No longer are there caribou with bells that jingle, A 2031 stainless steel V-8, red and white shingles. Santa is not plump and white bearded like he used to be, Now he has a shaved head sporting a black goatee. The good girls and boys get emails on the Eve, Announcing his arrival and what time he will leave. There are ramps starting at the base of the exhaust, Sliding presents down the chimney a lil' crisscrossed. No more elves working tirelessly at the North Pole, But electronic robots made of silver and gold. Tall green pine trees decorated with sheets of red ice, No more LED lights, now there's something more precise. The snow used to be white, fluffy and soft, Now a tiny hue of pink intertwined with blue frost. The stockings have no gravity, they float and linger, Special sugar cookies made with a snap of my finger. Opening gifts using the new electronic scissors, My whole family wakes up wearing matching knickers. My son and daughter build snow forts with excavators, And all through out December we have curious spectators. I sit here and look back to when I was thirty-five, I wonder how in the world did I ever survive! Some say the first Christmas was in December 336ad, Based on some chart, oh how I strongly disagree. I miss that chubby old man and his beautiful reindeer, And his red sleigh while brushing his long white beard. Oh my, how things have altered so ridiculously fast, I never thought so much can change from many Christmas's past. ~A Futuristic Christmas Contest~ Sponsor: Mystic Rose Date Written: November 16, 2015
