THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS

’Twas the Day after Christmas,

when all through the house,

there were remnants of wrapping

and boxes and presents, glasses

and plates and every sort of just this 

and just that - just resting and sitting

there on tables and rugs, and under

the edges of chairs and the couch,

just here, just there, just everywhere.

So the Mrs. of the house, after just
this and just that - put on her coat

and got out of that house - quick

and quiet just like a mouse.
