Prints in pause of paws pristine upon the snowy trail of night. Before the fluff of popping corn on winged sails of diamond’s plight. The hare that met the hungry hound, the birds that pooped the snowy ledge. Squirrels that frolicked in her abound beyond the green of once shorn hedge. A cocoa cup, a pair of bees a book of words to blend the thought. A journey through the naked trees to see what was the priest had wrought. A million bucks of fun filled smiles a giggle from the south to north. To far to walk those chilling miles on legs of old for all their worth. A Christmas hug, a jolly wink while from her sight the bag is stole And now she laughs, but did not think when from the screen a snow ball rolled. The splat was heard from miles away as water dripped from a raised lid. And from the skies she heard him say "You cannot win against this kid!" Merry Christmas To You!!!!
