‘Twas the day after Christmas
I was alone in my house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse
They were all still sleeping
Tucked tight with lights out
The busy day previous
Had worn them right out
Alone with my coffee pot
I sat and scanned FABO forum
Looking through this that and whatnot
The peace was just awesome
That’s when it started again
I heard a small clatter
I knew it was over
The silence didn’t matter
The family was rising
The animals needed out
Though it was not surprising
I knew there was no doubt
Boxing Day was here
And as you’d presume
With grandkids all near
Toys and noise would resume
Mice weren't stirring because I got that little sucker last night !
The quiet was nice
The silence was golden
But reality is
It’s the kids I love holdin’
So here we go again
A day full of fun
Peace and quiet has ended
Merry Christmas everyone
