A Mom’s Holiday Fantasy
T’was the holiday eason and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except Mom and her mouse;
Stockings to wash were piled by the chimney without care,
In hopes that some help soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of Barney danced in their heads;
And son with his pillow and baby in lap
Had just settled down for an afternoon nap,
When out in the kitchen there arose such a clatter,
Mom left her computer to see what was the matter.
Away to the kitchen she flew like a flash,
“Please don’t wake the kids,” she pleaded, “I’ll give you cash!”
The dishes in the sink and Cheerios below
Gave the feeling of guilt every mother should know.
When, what to her wondering eyes should appear,
But a guy dressed like Santa who was calling her “dear”.
With a sponge and a towel he was so lively and quick
She was so excited she feared she’d be sick.
More rapid than eagles his helpers they came
And he whistled, and shouted and called them by name;
Now, dishes, now wash, now under the table
The bathroom, the playroom and do what you’re able!
To the top of the windows! to the top of the wall
Now do the whole house - just clean it all!
His eyes — how they twinkled! His dimples were fun!
Mom knew she was grateful — but he wasn’t done.
He looked at her desk and the work piled there
And he turned to her computer and began to stare.
He spoke not a word but went straight to his work
He completed all projects and turned with a jerk,
And laying his finger aside of his head,
He winked at Mom and sent her to bed.
She couldn’t believe her good fortune, everything had been done!
Mom actually had time for some rest and some fun!
And she heard him exclaim as he turned out the light,
“Happy Holidays Mom, may your New Year be
bright!”
