Christmas Cards
DELIGHT and dismay are equally mingledWhen the seasons slide round to this time of the year.Then we sharpen our pencils, dust off the address bookThe hour for Christmas card writing is here.
Relatives, friends, or a casual aquaintance
No matter how careful, there's one we'll forget.
But oh, what a feeling when the postman comes calling
With cards from all those who remember us yet.
