Christmas comes but once a year... <br />Holy cow, it's already here-oh dear! <br />Packages to unwrap b'neath this tree... <br />Hopefully-less gifts for sis-more gifts for me. <br />A bb rifle to shoot at squirrels and even at a wandering cat... <br />While doing such fun, i'll be wearin' my cowboy hat. <br />I hope that small one wrapped in red... <br />Is that wrist rocket that i'll shoot with at the postman's head. <br />Snowballs and egg nog being sipped by the fire... <br />Is a Christmas memory i'll later tell to my kids, <br />before they call me a dumb, big fat liar.<br /><br />Michael Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/christmas-comes-but-once-a-year/
