The Day After

Half-eaten cookies and non-fat milk Me still in my PJs all made of silk Boxes and bows still lay in the floor Send dad for batteries to the local store Fatigue children from playing all day Scattered toys in the hall way Pick up the toys and put them in place Pick up the wrapping, bows and lace The house is now clean and the day draws near Glad that Christmas comes but once a year Then we repeat this day again tomorrow Still filled with much joy and very little sorrow
