Christmas Stress

Who would have thunk,

No one could have guessed.

Just days before Christmas,

I’d be this damned stressed.

The stockings aren’t hung,

The tree’s still in the box.

Hung one string of lights,

And got a hell of a shock.

Made a trip to the mall,

And found much to my dismay,

There’s nothing left to buy,

Nothing left on display.

I tried baking cookies,

A fruitcake and fudge.

Several firemen showed up,

And left me with sludge.

So my message to you

As I assess my dire plight.

Merry Christmas to all,

And to all a good night.
