DECISIONS-- DECISIONS
SHOULD WE HAVE A CORNER TREE,
OR ONE THAT'S ON THE WALL,
ONE THAT'S SHORT AND FAT
OR ONE THAT'S THIN AND TALL?
MAYBE-- IN A WINDOW
FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SEE,
OR ONE WITH JUST A FEW LIGHTS
EXPRESSING SIMPLICITY
OR MAYBE SEVERAL HUNDRED LIGHTS
IN COLORS OR ALL WHITE
IT TAKES A LOT OF PLANNING
TO GET IT ALL JUST RIGHT
THEN THERE IS THE TREE TOP,
AN ANGEL OR A STAR
AND LOTS OF TINSEL STRUNG AROUND,
OR ARE WE GOING A BIT TOO FAR?
WHAT ABOUT THE WATER
THAT NOURISHES THE TREE
WILL THE PETS STAY OUT OF IT,
OR SHOULD WE WAIT AND SEE?
AND DO WE PUT A SKIRT AROUND
ONCE THE TREE'S IN PLACE,
OR STAND IT IN A BUCKET
AND COVER IT WITH LACE?
THE ORNAMENTS MAY HAVE A THEME
OR JUST A RANDOM MIX
OR LOTS OF RIBBONS HANGING THERE
AND A FEW POINSETTIA STIX
IT REALLY IS A PROJECT
NOT KNOWING WHAT TO DO
ESPECIALLY FOR YOUR FIRST TREE
IT'S ALL SO NEW TO YOU.
WHY NOT GET A PULL-UP TREE
WITH LIGHTS AND TRIMS ON IT,
JUST HOOK IT ON THE CEILING
YOUR PETS CANT GET UP ON IT.
SO-- NOW THE TREE PROBLEM;S OVER
WHERE DO WE HANG THE SOX?
MAYBE ON THE MANTEL OR DOORKNOB IN THE HALL
OR BETTER YET,LET'S JUST FORGET
AND NOT DO ANYTHING AT ALL.
