A Boy’s happy Christmas in the long ago
Miss Dee found it in an old house she bought
*** metal with the paint peeling away
Wire axles and rubber tires that still roll
No carpet in those years, a wood-plank floor
Was the dreamland for winter adventures
Between the gas fire and the Christmas tree
Between the morning and evening milkings
Somewhere an old man misses his fire truck -
His happy Christmas in the long ago
