TWO DAYS BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Twas two days before Christmas,
And all through my house,
The presents were all unwrapped,
And I looked like a louse.

Made one last run to the grocery
For the grits I'd forgot.
Skipped the Honey Baked Ham Store
In that line I'd stand not.

There was laundry to do,
And a whole lot of cooking,
Dreaded to start,
But had to get working.

Baked a quiche and some brownies,
And made sausage balls,
A couple of cheese logs,
Before a phone call.

Polished a few things,
And cleaned some glass.
My son and his girls coming,
Want to show a little class.

Ere I retire for the night,
This one thing I'll exclaim,
One more day before Christmas,
Hope I get the work tamed.
