12/26 Killing
Twas the night of Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
Santa came that morning to my kids delight,
I left the next morning, thinking of geese taking flight.
140 in a field I had recently seen, I hoped they'd come back,
My Christmas dream.
The blinds were brushed up and decoys were set,
Flocked full bodies and some silhouettes.
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But rain at daylight and no wind far or near.
But onward they came in draw after draw
For a full steel sandwich right to the maw.
Then just to my right, a black Chevy was seen,
Lo and behold, Mr. Greenjeans!
He checked stamps and plugs, said the neighbors were pissed.
But we were all legal, nothing amiss.
When the dust finally settled, 30 lay near,
A stellar day after Christmas. So Happy New Year!
