I once wrote a list of things
That represented me :
Smoke from a discarded cigarette,
Rain on the Ocean,
A saturday matinee.
I wrote that I was a penny
On a train track, waiting.

Well guess what, folks-
The engine has arrivd.

Can I share your Christmas
Mine’s been ****** away
Too busy closing out my job
To have much time to play
No Christmas tree, no mistletoe
No wreath on my front door
No strings of lights across the roof
No “spirit” any more
I promise not to hog your joy
And I will not intrude
I only want to steal a taste
Of all your special day includes
A whiff of loving happiness
And reverence for the season
I want to feel some holiday
And that’s my only reason
So if you’ll let me have a bite
Of what your Christmas means
I’ll be forever in your debt
For sharing happy scenes.
