Twas the time before the holidays……….

Twas the time before the holidays and all through the sewing room

the machines sat idle while I awaited impending doom

the pillowcases were made to wrap the finished UFOs

but the woman who made them, just didn't have time to sew!

the buckeyes were made, the anise cookies cooling

the patterns were waiting, but the holidays movies kept spooling

hour after hour, on four different channels, oh my!

how to watch them, tape them, DVR them, I sigh

yet out like a flash, I need to out, at night, I do go

prairie wife, stacking wood, feeding the stove and shoveling the endless snow!

the stockings were hung with nothing to fill them

the cards left unsent, but I Ebay'ed a gem!

Cindyloo whoo will be coming real soon

joining the Grinch, Heat and Snow Miser, I am over the moon

I beat the last bid, I outwitted that shopper

my, oh my, Christmas is just going to be a Whopper

no turkey, no stuffing, no fix ins for us

just movies and sweets and all that good stuff

but papa will be returning from far away lands

and make me cook and sew, he must take a stand

because I, in my fuzzy jammies, just want my wine

so I whine and I whine and I say to all of my kind

make merry, merry everyday and enjoy each and every day

for  someday, we will cook, sew and clean, YES we will shall PAY!

Enjoy
