One Last Fling

One Last Fling

Dead of winter
Tree in the dumpster
Lights unstrung
Ornaments packed
Gloom sets in
Low winter sun
Dark by five
One last fling
Astrid’s birthday
A really big one
Much to celebrate
Nachos and champagne
Robert and Lisa
Flowers and salad
Dressing on side
Pennie baked cake
Fruit torte
Merry berries
Ginger snap crust
Candles stuck in
Bob raised a glass
All joined toast
Cling and clang
Wine and roses
Huff and puff
With great gusto
Blew house in
Making a wish
Burst of pleasure
Joy beyond measure
Marking a milestone
