T'was the day after Christmas a day off for the elves

Santa and the missus were at home by themselves

Mrs. Clause had missed him and was now feeling frisky

Meanwhile Santa had gotten at the bottle of whisky

He had told her already about the troubled spots

To calm his nerves he would need at least three more shots

That was not his normal drink he preferred champagne

But he was upset he could not deliver in the Ukraine

He felt Putin had caused his special night to be botched

The Russian had embarrassed him while all the world watched

There was no deliveries allowed in the Middle east

And in New York the streets were not properly policed

There were many protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge

And the Belt Parkway wasn't moving over in Bay Ridge

Then in midtown to collect a tax there was an attempt

But Mayor Adams said that on that night he was exempt

To get out of that little mess he almost had to beg

And then Rudolph got a nasty rat bite on his front leg

Every year he comes home more dead tired and depressed

All offices are closed so there is no place to protest

He feels the weight of the world on his old shoulders

Meanwhile the letters pile up in bigger folders

You accuse me of having a cold heart

 You accuse me of having a cold heart

I've been counting the day’s we’ve been apart

You said I’ve been cold to you for a while

How long has it been since I saw your smile

You said I grow more distant every day

I’m not the one who went away.

You said you feel lonely and all alone

It’s hard to keep a romance alive with a phone

You are not happy with messages on the computer

You should come home oftener and be a commuter

You say I’ve lost interest I don’t even flirt

Stop sending me selfies of you with no skirt

You say when you call the phone is always busy

I’m probably talking to your best friend Lizzie

I never realized Lizzie was so sweet and kind

She’s well educated and she has a brilliant mind

She said if she found the right man she’d settle down

But there are so few eligible bachelors in this little town

She calls me every Sunday night on my radio shows

And she told me last night she wrote a bit about me in prose

She loves my poetry and had a great sense of humor

They say she has her eye on someone it’s just a rumor

So now you are not coming for Christmas and its no big deal

Lizzie’s mother said she’ll gladly cook me a holiday meal

You say you are coming home to throw her in the ditch

That she’s no friend of yours, she’s a conniving bitch.

I’m amazed at this sudden hostility Miss Peggy O’Connor

Lizzy said at her wedding she wants you as Maid of Honor.

When I first met her she was acting so cagey

When I asked her out she only replied maybe

After a few more moments she finally agreed

I would have been a bit moody if I had to plead

She lives far out in the country and it was night

It was hard to see the signs there was no street light

That very first night going therec I made a wrong turn

And this anticipated date we had to adjourn

That was not the worst in a big drain I got stuck

And my Ford car wound up on the back of a truck

About eight or nine days later my trip I retraced

All the broken parts of my car were now replaced

On that first date I was both respectful and meek

Before going home I gave her a peck on the cheek

She is outgoing and friendly and no way withdrawn

And as charming and devilish as a wee leprechaun

She has a smile she has style like any other beauty

And the things I hear from her make her my cutie

She is a lovely woman a real uncut gem

If she has any faults I have yet to find them

I call her Barbie but she is a Lambert Steller

I like her so a lot and that I often tell her

I almost did not meet her it was by pure chance

I cannot wait for the night when we finally slow dance

There are no guarantees there is no prediction Sometimes odd things happen which are almost fiction Some days start off without any major surprises But then they happen in many shapes and sizes The happy moments spent I could never foresee At a garage sale in Acra on old twenty three There I met some nice people I had met before And we talked about my poetry and my store Barbara was visiting and I feel in clover My search for true companionship may be over There in front of me a lady build like Barbie If this was Christmas she could be a gift from Santee Petite of body yet she matches me in height When she hugged me warmly I responded in delight. In that moment I thought I felt her affection We'll have to wait and see if there's a connection.
