There's something special
About crafting with your child
Until she eats paint

Caught up on grading
And fell behind on planning
A teacher's wild life

I make airplane spoons
And know Goodnight Moon by heart
For my wee spitfire

Beware brazen babe
Scanner the Elf has returned
And he's watching you

Reindeer car antlers
Ridiculous novelty
Funny nonetheless

Mundane household chores
Are noticably less dull
With Christmas music

Like all splendid trips
This one ended way too soon
Homesick already
