Christmas 10

x

Look at that,

Lords leaping

We had to take this

Outside

The neighbors may look over

Though they rarely do

Unless they do

And how did I know that

They were lords?

It was on the dance cards

They provided

x

The ladies wouldn’t like it:

There was one lord too many

No, wait,

It is a lord to be frustrated

By a dearth of one

x

Though it’s only counting,

Everything’s confused

These ten thus-far

Days

Is it any wonder

From the wonders?

x

Sigh,

I left them leaping

To go inside to ponder

Eleven
