Pre-Lit Trees

PRE-LIT TREES Pre-lit Christmas trees are great As long as all of the lights burn But when the lights begin to go There's a lesson to be learned Though you admired your pre-lit tree So beautifully all decked out When the lights go out, the glow is gone And your wife begins to pout So off to Wal-Mart for replacements Which you must carefully thread Among the ornaments and pre-lit strands Where all the lights are dead After the holidays have passed The tree now must come down Minus all the pre-lit bulbs Once all the connections are found You finally get them off the tree In a tangled mass on the floor Dare you try to test them To see if they'll burn any more You decide the trash bin is better And my advice to you would be Save yourself some trouble Don't buy a pre-lit tree Curtis Moorman 6 January 2012
