Response
I saw a little boy today,
And smiled despite myself,
He was cute, he had a job,
For UPS he was an elf.
I picked up some chocolate and I drooled,
Right down my front, you see?
What's this Pavolian response,
That so embarrassed me?
I looked outside and felt a chill,
Snow. Falling all around.
My facebook friend's in Florida,
Envy now abounds.
And all those commercials on T.V.,
Saying Christmas is quite near?
I look about for presents,
But I'll have to shop some more, I fear.
I'd like to get a handle on
These reactions that have me,
But peace and quiet are what I need,
To serene and happy be.
