CHRISTMAS WOMAN
by Charles E Minshall
______________________________
Like a balloon with a slow leak
Her tired body sagged.
A scream she would bring forth
At any thing bagged.
Christmas is over,
Not a package to wrap.
No boxes left,
Not even one flap.
The Christmas tree
Is dogge dieux brown,
But she has no energy
To take it down.
Then she remembered
This Is New Years Eve
She'll wear the deep vee neck
With the sequined sleeve.
