A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS
A wreath is on my door.
The tree is up and lit.
Presents are under the tree.
Not another one would fit.
The cards are in the mail.
They should arrive in time,
Wishing a Merry Christmas,
To all those friends of mine.
My checkbook is in shambles,
From so many trips to town.
My wallet, now is empty.
Not a dollar can be found.
As my funds diminished,
Joy has taken their place.
Even though I'm broke,
There's a smile upon my face.
My spirits have been lifted,
To a much higher plane.
Only one thing is lacking,
That's the joyous refrain,
"To each a Merry Christmas,
Filled with joy and cheer,
and may the Lord bless you,
With a prosperous and Happy New Year!"
