I Am a Christmas Card
Poem from the perspective of a Christmas card
I’m sent towards the end of the year,
to aid in spreading Christmas cheer.
Tattoo me with an address,
it’s my delight, I must confess.
Stamp my right top corner,
on my journey, a blessed, joy, sojourner!
Caressing other cards along the way,
until I make it in a mailbox to stay,
for a day, maybe two if they forget,
to check the mailbox, because then I’ll not-so-patiently sit.
Waiting to be collected, opened and enjoy the fridge, or fireplace top view,
until the season is over and through.
Then, I may be saved, or stored, or not,
sometimes the trash is my final lot.
