December 26

On the front door
A beautiful wreath once bade welcome, come in
Now it's sagging, held together with a pin

Beneath the tree
Where presents were once in a heap
Now I find pine needles ankle deep

In the refrigerator
Once a feast, a splendid fare
Now a dab of dressing, turkey bones picked bare

At the piano
 The music rang out, we gathered round to sing
Now on top I find a dozen egg nog cup rings

On the coffee table
A forgotten Christmas toy
And my feet propped up, recovering from all the joy!
