My Ugly Sweater

I bought myself an ugly sweater
It was on sale at a good price
It has a red neckline  all around
Then the color changes light grey
The sleeves are in red and white
In the middle of the sweater seen
Are these words screen printed on
The words say "Santa Claws"
Underneath these words is a 
Screen print photo that is done
A red hat hanging down long
With a pompom hanging long
A black cat is wearing this hat
On this special day for Christmas
With a sweater with white design
Background with snowflakes 
Then smaller snowflakes followers
Reindeer in a rowand black cat
One side followed by the snowflakes
Then another black cat on the other side
The black cat is lovely 
Followed by more red and white stripes
I like this sweater and will wear it often
This sweater is not ugly it is beautiful
In this sweater is a black cat
Wearing a Christmas hat and sweater
The cat is spreading Christmas joy
I will wear this sweatere on Christmas Day

Dennis Spilchuk January 10, 2021 at 3:33 PM Ugly Christmas sweaters are a tradition for many people. I see the humour and bonding in a family, and a family and kin or friends get together, or in a participation group, or just for yourself. In light of the moment, the ugly sweater is beautiful to the wearer, or else, why would they wear it? Nice poem, Darlene. Darlene De Beaulieu January 10, 2021 at 3:55 PM Hello Denis Splichuk, yes the ugly sweater is beautiful to the person that wears it. I like mine very much. Thank youDenis. enjoy your evening my friend.
