I’m sure some better qualified poet and lyric writer has already done this, but here’s my shot at it. You know how the song goes, so here’s my list of the aftermath of Christmas.
Sing with gusto.
On the first day after Christmas, my true love Gabe to me
1 ravaged Christmas tree.
2 aspirin tablets.
3 broken ornaments.
4 bags of garbage.
5 unpaid bills.
6 kids a screaming.
7 gifts re-gifted.
8 exhausted reindeer.
9 empty checkbooks.
10 plates of leftovers.
11 damaged decorations.
12 unemployed shelf elves.
