Behaving Day
written by: Ken Gosse
One day left to settle the score, knowing the list’s being checked once more, acting like children you must adore, round puppy eyes will help implore.
Ornaments all have been picked up off the floor, a plate with hot chocolate, cookies and more.
Behaving like never before, in every which way,
careful in all we do and say,
waiting up late to
hear the sleigh:
Christmas
eve
day.
