Seasonal Poem

by Adrienne Tange
DMV Contributing Editor

The turkey is gone and so is the pie which means the end of fall,
now get out your wallets and strap on your shoes cause you’re off to the nearest mall.

It's presents for work, CDs for your kids and goodies for your mate,
a sweater for Suzy, black gloves for Gary who lives in another state.

Tall candles for Kathy, special soaps for Sally, and necklaces for your niece
Then hop in your car and jet back to work and edit the last release.

After work come home and wrap them all up then rush to the grocery store,
Get food for the party, cookies for the kids, and a wreath for your door.

Make lists in your head of the things you must do before that important day,
like shopping and wrapping, cooking and cleaning, and watching your children’s play.

You shop and you wrap and you cook and you clean and finally the big day is here,
now rest and relax and put up your feet until Christmas time next year!
