The Day After Christmas

Twas the day after Christmas
And throughout chez McLean
The house was in shambles,
The children, insane.

Noisy toys echo down and upstairs
Nerf bullets sting bottoms but nobody cares.
Boxes are stacked, poised to fall on poor Farley
The mass of recycling truly is gnarly!

Transformers and RC cars are keeping Ben happy
So the clothes and books his mom bought seem slightly less crappy.
There are ribbons and paper and gift bags aplenty!
With new clothes and bling Carmen looks about twenty!

Between the presents and chocolates and the constant snacking
One thing is for sure – this Christmas ain’t lacking.
Happy Holidays to you from Bryce and Ren
And of course the two monsters, Carmen and Ben.

May you dry out from the parties, embrace shortbread weight,
And may 2011 be totally great!
