“Wishing Out Loud”
The first artificial Christmas tree was made
of goose feathers that were dyed green,
The geese are thankful we humans have evolved
But remember the fresh-cut 6-footer we’d seen?
Evergreen-lush, so full and fragrant
Our holiday setting will be picturesque,
I’ll drape the lights while you hook the orns
And there’s a little something for you on my desk
The envelope’s constructed of seasonal parchment
You really do like the inscription inside?
Well, open the mini-lope tucked a little deeper
Tonight’s the beginning of a romantic Yuletide
Yes, it’s a rather exclusive guest-gift card
Paired with a digital chip-embedded invite,
In addition to the annual Friends & Family Day
I’ve arranged a first-of-its-kind Pamper-Her Night
Your favorite store will open its doors
to a select few angels with their heartmates’ code,
Nary a cash register will be in operation
The tablets will be set in pre-paid mode
A little merchant arm-twisting? Or palm-greasing?
Call it strategic marketing with romance in mind,
After all, Christmastime comes but once a year
Not every man is blessed with a special find
Such as I have with you, anything but blue
is this holiday season; sweet tidings I bring,
Only 12 days of merry? Oh, quite the contrary
I’ve an endless book of carols to you I’ll sing
“Bells will be ringing . . . ” Your heart will be tingling
Girl, I’m thinking of you out loud as I write this,
‘Tis a special season and, woman, you’re my reason
There’s but one item on my Santa’s wish list:
If you haven’t yet promised your heart to another
Would you help me finish dressing my tree?
I trust your décor and you’ll enjoy my decorum
And if a mystery unfolds, we’ll simply let it be
Thinking out loud feels like wishing out loud
To my home a visit Kris Kringle might pay,
I’ve asked for a decorator whose heart I can kindle
What are you doing this Pamper-Her-Friday?
