A Christmas Coupling Couplet
It seems not everyone adores
Witty phrasing or metaphors
But this time of year's so dark
I thought I'd fan a yuletide spark
See, it's winter and I'm listless
Still, I'll have a Merry Christmas
As my blues all change their hue
With that holiday treat called YOU
Thus, my spirits shall get a lift
Unwrapping you, my favorite gift
As your pretty bows and stackage
Make a tempting yuletide package
How you'll glow, (and I'll perspire)
While we're roasting 'side the fire
Santa just can't fill your stocking
As you do whene'er we're rocking
How my Christmas spirit grows
When your spicy wassail flows
And the mistletoe's well-traveled
As your wrappings get unraveled
My febrile fantasies are ticking
With that candy cane you're licking
Since you've sent my feelings south
I'll have to taste that sticky mouth
See, the way we paraphrase
Our form of Happy Holidays
Is sure to keep us ever-warming
Even if the winds are storming
And as we're slowing, growing old
We'll find our refuge from the cold
Reliving times that we replay ...
And making Christmas ... every day.
