Twas the Week After Christmas

Twas the week after Christmas
and all over the land
Moms all going crazy
No more Holiday plans

Up late every night
left kids snug in their beds
Getting them back on schedule
filled me with dread

Dad back at work
and me stuck at home
Dreaming of a time
When I'd be left alone

When up in the playroom
arose such a clatter
I ran up the stairs
to see what was the matter

Just a huge battle royal
in a new wrestling ring,
and Rock Band on the Wii
Boy, this family can't sing!

A mess end to end
Not a toy on a shelf
But I laughed when I saw it
in spite of myself

I tried yelling and bribing
to get the house straight,
But with so many distractions
that will just have to wait

Not a snow flake in sight
the sky a bright blue
How these children annoy me
with "nothing" to do

Now Ryan, Now Sam
It leads me to shout
Get up and get dressed
Get your shoes and get out

But now it is Tuesday
and I can see the light,
It's just a few days
until Sunday Night!!!
