‘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!"=
