Twas Christmas 2002

‘Twas December, two thousand two; Christmas, of course, and my main thought - Decking the halls on Tye Avenue. With a broken leg, I’m in a stew, my house, the only bare spot. ‘Twas December, two thousand two. Grandkids, my volunteer work crew, tied my heart in a granny knot. decking the halls on Tye Avenue. Porch lights strung, manger scene askew, my approval, they earnestly sought. ‘Twas December, two thousand two. Front window tree, last thing to do; they attack it, never being taught. Decking the halls on Tye Avenue. Year to remember, grandkids, do you? a Christmas I have never forgot. ‘Twas December, two thousand two; Decking the halls on Tye Avenue.

I appreciate your input; thank you, BJ. With kids, one expects askew and cherishes it.
