Wrapping Presents ( A lighter side for all) |

Two days before Christmas And while not quite a “louse” The only thing cheerful Was the cord on my mouse Hanging with ribbon And bows I’d tied there So I could start wrapping Things from my chair. Boxes were strewn Cross the floor and my desk Tape was still missing Scissors lost in the mess When up to my face Sprang the devils own grin Till those still around me Thought my mind lost in sin Up from my chair I flew in a flash Ran down the stairs And out to the trash I grabbed all the bags I could find there Trailed them behind me As I laughed without care Into the bags I threw Christmas’s loot Finished in no time I let out a hoot On top of each bag I tied a red bow And set down again Letting ecstasy show It may not be pretty Or subtle you know But they will have Bags when out they do throw. |

I believe this might be where the commercial got started too. Don't get Mad ...Get GLAD. and I'm glad i came in and read this today.  In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. |

christmas scenes, distorted. imaginative, and light. not your best i have to say, i think because with so many christmas poems that have come about--the substance of them fades. still, you managed well. -chris. |

I related on two levels....sitting at the computer while the world moves on (how dare it?) and scrambling at the last minute for something. That's why I give gift certificates!! |

Ron, Oh yes, you managed well. You put a smile on my face. It is always the tape that I can't find, having then to refold the ends...ends up looking like a 2 year old wrapped it....yet, somehow they don't seem to care. Those big bows do wonders to distract from messy corners. Enjoyed, Warm regards, and happy holidays Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

haha I loved this! I just spent the last hour and a half wrapping two gifts. I used more tape than I knew the world held, and more paper than any man should ever see! Ahh it'll be fun to watch 'em open it. But oh how I'd have rather just done that!!! Always, GG - And so it was that time stood still - |

Ron I have some tape and newspaper, but bags may prove to be faster, better. Loved the smile in this! |

So what you're saying is: When it comes to Christmas, just bag it! Good to see your sense of humor wrapping up your holiday. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
