These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

The Day Before the Day Before Christmas

Some more to do, some more to buy,
some things will not get done.
The season came, went on the fly,
'twas spent as though there's none.

The day before the day before,
'tis now our time is gone.
With Christmas here, Yea at the door
the yearly curtain's drawn.

The wheels upon the road revolve
to take us to events,
but how can we our chores now solve,
our garlic, spices mince?

The gift of time spent with our kin,
the moments sipping tea,
will sanity and mind we win,
and hope for such as we.
