Christmas Eve Valentine

Where's dad
out talking to
the pine trees
where's mom
out back smoking
a cigarette
where's sonny
out fighting
a useless war
where's baby
out singing in
the local bar
every year
Christmas gets
smaller pretty
soon they'll
be back in the
cave with the cow
and the donkey
few spaces left
for the choiring
throngs
