What Day Is It

What Day Is It

Is it Thursday,

No, it’s Saturday,

January,

A new year,

But, not New Year’s Day,

Good,

Ok,

My time clock is confused,

The Christmas tree has been curbed,

It’s gone,

First thing to do today,

Unplug the white lights on the outside bushes,

I never know when to do that,

I always hate to do that,

I love those lights,

I love that downtowns light their trees at night,

It makes the nighttime special,

More festive,

But, the homestead needs to move into normalcy,

Well, at least I do,

A tradeoff,

I love the holidays,

Family, friends and festive food,

One more holiday to look forward to,

Valentine’s Day,

Then a few dark nights,

Then Spring,

Just around the corner,

I love it,

I love it all!
