Put your head against mine On Christmas morning Just before the Alarm goes off And your cats start marching Up and down in your kitchen And remember what it was like, Of the way Snow used to come down Outside where you used to live Leaving that taxi taking us to my parents Going up and down that hill Like it was trying to tackle A ski slope rather than a ride out, In particular when I knocked off All of the labels skidding down the road Leaving us guessing all the way down Whose present was who’s Much to the amusement Of both my father and brother, And on the way back When the taxi driver Couldn’t get his taxi going again And I had to help him Push it back up the hill In a attempt to get kickstart it, Totally defying gravity A lot like what your cats do Every morning.

Christmas Poem for Cathy (2013)
Put your head against mine On Christmas morning Just before the Alarm goes off And your cats start marching Up and down in your kitchen And remember what it was like, Of the way Snow used to come down Outside where you used to live Leaving that taxi taking us to my parents Going up and down that hill Like it was trying to tackle A ski slope rather than a ride out, In particular when I knocked off All of the labels skidding down the road Leaving us guessing all the way down Whose present was who’s Much to the amusement Of both my father and brother, And on the way back When the taxi driver Couldn’t get his taxi going again And I had to help him Push it back up the hill In a attempt to get kickstart it, Totally defying gravity A lot like what your cats do Every morning.
