Newest Christmas Poem
This is my newest Christmas poem that I wrote for the Carter County Poet Society's Christmas Party:
That ‘ol Magic Mistletoe
New gifts and wrapping paper
Strewn across the floor
Baby is in heaven
And she is just not bored
Pappy is drinking coffee
With “Earnhardt” by his feet
Granny is so happy
That baby’s morn is complete
Mother is taking pictures
Trying to fit it all in
Dad is lookin’ at mother
In wonder of her grin
Turkey’s in the oven
Filling the house with warm
Pumpkin Pie is baking
And outside is a snowstorm
Soon, all will settle
With dishes in the sink
Dad is in the doorway
And giving Mom a wink
She looks above Dad’s big head
And he gives a ho ho ho
Dad invites her over
For that ol’ Magic Mistletoe
Mother knows what Dad wants
It is one of his Christmas wishes
Nothing to elaborate
Just plenty of Christmas kisses.

Nice poem. Tells a story I can understand and relate too!
Thanks! It pretty much describes the past 7 Christmas' that we have had here in Kentucky. My father in-law is a Ernhardt collector, and every year get's tons of stuff. Santa get's help from Carla's mom every year, and Carla makes it all come together. I think that this poem really catches a moment in our family history and I like it a lot.
