The yuletide is here, with all its trappings, And I'll count my blessings to finally see My favorite package, in all her wrappings ... You, My Love, 'neath our Christmas tree ... I'm impatient as kids, goodness knows, Swooning to savor those holiday sweets, But Santa has managed with trims and bows To hide all the best of your tastiest treats ... I know our last tousle was fits and stalls, So let's make amends by the fire with care ... I'll do my darnedest to deck all your halls, Weaving the garland to streak your hair ... Oh, how divine, the grabs and grapples, Our kindled pursuit of a Christmas truce, Your thighs, firmly shaped for squeezing apples, But devoted, as I, to that sparkling juice ... And should we yet dare to imbibe that cider, Attending our wassails long through the night, I'm sure that your hearth will be warming wider, So keeping our passions AND holidays ... bright! ~ 3rd Place ~ in the "Cool Writes And Imagination" Poetry Contest, Kim Rodrigues, Judge & Sponsor.
