Twas the day after Christmas
And all through the town
Little kids were found playing
With toys all around.
Moms and dads were at home
Snug and warm in their chairs
Drinking egg nog and cider
As they dreamed of warm air.
The postman was busy
With after Christmas mail
From those who were locked up
In the local county jail.
Old Santa was finished
With this year ends trip
As the elves celebrated
Cups of tea they did sip.
Twas the day after Christmas
And all through the town
If one looked really hard
Good cheer could be found.
