One Day After Christmas.
It's one day
after Christmas
I'm crabby and I'm broke.
I'm so full of ham and fruitcake
I think I'm gonna croak.
It's nice to see the relatives
I wonder when they'll leave.
They've been camping in my bathroom
since early Christmas Eve.
They're eating everything in sight
and sleeping in my bed.
I been sacked out in the basement
with my spotted beagle, Fred.
The relatives have all gone out
and left their screaming brats.
The toilet bowl is all plugged up
and I can't find the cat.
It's Christmas time at my house,
the relatives are here.
They eat me out of house and home.
and drink up all my beer.
I love the decorations,
and the sleigh bells in the snow
But I wish those pesky relatives
would take their kids and go.
Those cookie crunchers fed the dog
a twenty pound rib of roast.
His feet are sticking in the air
like skinny old fence posts.
Now they're in a free-for-all,
the girls against the boys.
They're fighting over boxes
'cause they're bored with all their toys
My mother-in-law is snoring
in my favorite TV chair.
Those kids are stringing lights on her
and tinseling her hair
I oughta wake her up
before the fireworks begin.
But I wanna see those blue sparks fly
when they plug her in.
Hope everyone had a wonderful time and Happy Boxing Day to those who are celebrating.
BOL. We sure are glad we had no little people over!

ReplyDeleteHi Molly, I hope your start in the new year will be not to noisy and loud but with a good bone or another good meal. Thank you for your comments - I love reading them every time and have all together some happy days….I will walk along the north sea beach over the last days of the year.

LOL fantastic poem...really in the spirit of the day. :)
ReplyDeleteMOL! Your poem describes the Christmas many people had, poor things. We had a nice quiet one this year with no relatives. Of course all of our relatives are either at someone else's home or in the shelter. MOL!

That was a fantastic poem, Molly! Hope you had a very Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHello Molly, it's like you had an exiting Christmas, WOW ! lol
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo funny Mollie - most likely because it's soooo true!! Ambercat has the important job of testing out spare beds for visitors but I don't doubt she would like them to push off too. Betty
ReplyDeleteMolly, so super funny. We'll be waiting for those fireworks, and we hope the cat is not what is plugging up the toilet. Love your earmuffs Molly. They are so you. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteHehe Molly I wonder if there are people who's Christmas is really like this, luckily mine is not!
