One of our neighbors down the street
Hired a crane to cover
His enormous ficus tree
With colored lights last week
It looked like a giant wig
Wearing a crown of sparkling gems
But as if that wasn't enough
He lit up the yard and entire house
Until it resembled that candied hut
Hansel and Gretel would soon arrive
To nibble on and wake the witch
And instead of shepherds and kings
He planted a skeleton tall as the roof
Whose eyes are glowing coals
Its hand lunging for a falling star
