My Christmas list is short and sweet

As a member of a new blogger network called the UrbanMoms, I was asked to blog what I would like for Christmas … not what I was buying and ticking off my list for everyone else. Me, moi! What did I want. Here’s what I came up with. I hope you enjoy!

Just the other night,

My sweetheart turned to me and said,

Please dear, do write

A little something before bed.

What is this about, I asked him.

To which he shared his doubts,

Going on a limb,

he didn’t want to seem a lout.

You see, he did not have a clue

What his wife of so many years

Might desire as a Christmas due,

Such were his great fears.

Oh, I laughed and told him

Fear not, my list is neat.

It is but like a hymn,

So short and sweet.

It starts with A, and ends with E.

And would make my life so lovely.

Oh, then, you must tell me now,

Pleaded he — and how!

Alright, my love I’d tell you dear,

The thing I want most is Alice, here.

Alice? He asked, looking around confusedly.

Like Alice Springs, or Alice Cooper, or perhaps you mean …

Yes, Alice! I shouted with glee.

But not those Alices, you silly bee!

I want Alice Nelson, you see.

For with Alice, I could be

Just as bubbly 

As that Carol Brady!

If I had an Alice, I too

Could be cheerful and chummy,

Patient and cute,

Sporting a flat tummy!

So, for Christmas, I tell you,

My list is short and sweet.

It starts with A, and ends with E.

And you’re sure to get lucky if you get it for me!
