Shadows are dancing
Upon ceiling and wall
Logs crackle merrily
As ashes spark and fall

The Christmas tree shimmers
The garland sparkles bright
Angel adorns the top
Such a beautiful sight

The mantle is aglow
With a bough of holly
Christmas tunes are playing
The mood is quite jolly

The scent of gingerbread
Hangs lightly in the air
As we sit hand in hand
Without worry or care

Shivering snowflakes drift
Beyond the windowpane
As we snuggle closer
And share a candy~cane

This is a Christmas eve
That I'll always hold dear
For you've made it special
By simply being here

Mellow representations, Miss Pinky. This poem of yours defines perennial poetry. It would read fresh and new each Christmas season.

Now, let's get to the meat and potatoes, shall we, dear poetess? I've looked and looked and need you to correct me if I'm wrong,
but I cannot find a single creature in your picture whose name doesn't start with a 'D'! I only see ducks, deer, and a dog!

"Are you sure you don't see the lil' mouse over near the fireplace?" "Well, I'm as sure as I can be, Miss Pinky! I even pasted the image on my desktop and blew it up and I still can't see a mouse! Say! What would a mouse be doin' in a nice place like that? And with a dog yet?"

"You better drive over here, Miss Pinky, and help me find him. Just go out to the light and make a left. I'm about 1500 miles down the block on the left. I'll leave the porch light on..."

Hey, Miss Pinky! I hope I catch ya before you're out the drive! I think I know what's goin' on! I had just finished downing my second bottle of Schnapps,
when I saw a pink elephant between the tree and the window jumping up and down wildly! I looked closer to see what he was freakin' over and there it was! A mouse!

So that's your secret!
