12/26/24 Grif.Net – Day After Christmas

‘Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house,

Every creature was hurtin’, even the mouse=
=2E

 

The toys were all broken, their batteries dead;

=

Grandpa passed out, with some ice on his head.

 

Wrapping and ri=
bbons just covered the floor,

While upst=
airs the family continued to snore.

=
 

And I in my T-shirt, new Sketchers and =
jeans,

Went into the kitchen and started =
to clean.

 

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter.

 

Away =
to the window I flew like a flash,

Tore o=
pen the curtains, and threw up the sash.

=
 

When what to my wondering eyes sho=
uld appear,

But a little white truck, wi=
th an oversized mirror.

 =

The driver was smiling, so lively and grand;

The patch on his jacket said "U.S. POSTMA=
N."

 

With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox,

Then quickly he stuffed them in our mailbox.

 

Bill after bil=
l after bill, they still came;

Whistling =
and shouting he called them by name:

 

"Now Macy’s, now Amazon, Lowe&#=
8217;s and Target;

There’s Visa, Master C=
ard, Discover – more comin’, I bet.

 

To the tip or your limit, e=
very store, every mall,

Now charge away,=
charge away, charge away all!"

 

He whooped and he whistled as he fin=
ished his work.

He filled up the box, and=
then turned with a jerk.

 

He sprang to his truck, and he drove down the roa=
d,

Driving much faster with just half a =
load.

 

Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer, =

"ENJOY WHAT YOU GOT – YOU’LL BE PAYING ALL YEAR!&quot=
;
