Two Days Before Christmas

Two days before Christmas

We received a surprise.

A snowstorm had arrived

Followed closely by ice.

It covered the sidewalks,

The streets and the wires.

Laid heavy on tree branches

Where our big shock transpired.

A limb broke off our tree

But did not fall to the ground.

Instead it fell across the drive

Where our two cars it found.

It fell on one cars rear windshield,

Broken glass flew everywhere.

But a teddybear still stood regally

Where my daughter had placed it there.

If you talk to dear old santa,

Tell him one thing please for us;

Help us get our two cars fixed

So we won't have to take the bus.

And tell him also

Bring a warm coat please

For our regal bear

Will surely freeze.
