'Twas the Week After Christmas

when all through the house
not a creature was hungry, not even a mouse.
The stockings were boxed in the basement with care,
in hopes that summer, soon would be there.
Gifts long ago opened, mostly forgotten,
save the fruit cake that was oh so rotten.
Gift cards redeemed, on the first day after
made the retailers howl with fits of laughter.
The trees once treated with awe and care,
now lie in a heep, we know not where.
The racks of the fridge, now seem so emtpy,
another shortbread and my pants just won't fit me.
Friends and family, return to busy days,
we'll all miss each other, in so many ways.
Back to work or back to school,
don't forget we had a great yule.
