• A luminescent amber star,
    Atop an olive green tree,
    Scarlet baubles,
    Hung with glee.
    A blond puppy
    Whimpering in its hiding spot,
    Is waiting for wide, azure-eyed children to happen upon it.
    Twinkling pallid lights strung across the eaves,
    Are in stark contrast to the hours of darkness.
    The taupe gray soot flew in a cloud of ashy smoke,
    And the behind the crimson bricks of the chimney,
    Came out a jolly, corpulent man
    In a burgundy suit.
