Christmas Sonnet


Today is the day we’ve waited for,

Where we all get to open up the gifts

One after another, laying on the floor

We pick them up and shake and shift.

 

What could it be wrapped up inside?

Anything from socks to a ball

It cannot be seen the wrapping paper hides,

Whatever lies beneath the cardboard walls.

 

Beginning to rip and tear,

All the paper is now absent

The tape’s left as everyone stares

And the gift is now present.

 

He held up a pack of white socks,

To go along with his stocking full of rocks.
