Holiday Etiquette
Holiday season
is all the more reason
to be kind and polite
Don’t take it
upon yourself
to just show up
Wait a minute
for an invite
an offer or
even what’s up
If you have lost your mind
this one time
call to see
what you can bring
’cause feeding an army
was never a thing
when budgeting
for the feast
And after you eat
get off your seat
and lend a helping hand
this is not a
bed and breakfast
or a ticket to lazy land
If you see something
you do not like
practice patience
with all your might
’cause your opinion
may just cause a fight
in the house you
occupy with no invite
if you see us smiling
with our arms
crossed real tight
Remember –
Holiday season
is all the more reason
to be kind and polite
