Back At Ya 😉
And in the living room post meal,
Celebratory sound expound in zeal.
🏈 , Snoring 😴, and scents from past,
Fireplace CO2 and a plethora of gas.
Volume on mute and snow ❄️ falling from aqueduct high,
Gasps of Cousin against glass envisioning snowman ☃️ from the sky.
And on the porch as far as one can see, Truck 🛻 🛻🛻 and SUV 🚙 🚙🚙
Loaded full with fresh cut Burnsville Christmas tree🎄.
Christmas is here but special are these guests today,
Etched in the album of memories forever to stay.
🦃
