Lucie's First Christmas
My first Christmas with Lucie,
I had some qualms, you know.
No idea what to expect
when I put up light show.
Would she climb the Christmas tree,
and bring it crashing down?
Would carefully wrapped presents
be strewn there all around?
Would she chew on the light strings
and pull them off the tree,
then electrocute herself
and scream like a banshee?
Would she lap up the eggnog
and drink the bowl clean?
How about the canapés,
the rest of the cuisine?
She took one look, ran and hid,
did not conjure my fears.
Fin'lly, she laid 'neath the tree
and stayed until New Year's!
