Discombobulated

By: - Dec 23, 2021

Discombobulated

Frenzied frantic
Frustrated rush
Clearing clutter
Urban archaeology
Top of desk
Visible again
Gaining back inches
Paying bills
Due since July
My oh my
Now Christmas Eve
Not really
She said bemused
Thought it was Friday
I could swear
No only Thursday
Tempest fluggit
Another day to
Procrastinate
My greatest skill
Ever sharper with age
Pushed to the
Back Burner
Simmering sauce
Holiday memories
Every day Astrid
Adds more detail
Cards to sign
Packages sent
The Eagle Has Landed
Pip related merrily
Neighbors playing Santa
Prancing the halls
Loft ablaze
Baubles and balls
Our ersatz tree
Inventive cluster
Fresh pine boughs
Smell of the woods
Spirit of Druids
Nuts to crack
Basket of Clementines
Pears from Olivia
Eggnog laced with
Myers Rum
Last of the jug
From three years ago
Stockings hung
With meticulous care
Such decorative flair
Now what to do
An extra day
To fritter away
Till we will
Be three
The Holy See
Your Majesty
