T’was the
morning of Christmas, when all through the house, the doggies were hungry and
bounded about.
The
lottery tickets were arranged on the couch with great care, with dreams of
winning danced in the air.
And Mom
in her warm jacket, did grumble and gripe, “Why can’t she buy one that fits
just right!”
With her
arms full of presents, all shiny and new, Mom sprang from her walker, she knew
exactly what to do.
She tore
open each gift with vigor and vim, and all of a sudden she started to grin.
When what
to her wondering eyes did appear, a diminutive daughter hovering near. A bundle of gifts she placed on her lap, and
then with laugh, she started to clap.
The last
present she declared with delight, “This is one I surely will like.” The description was puzzling its true, but
what a creative idea from you. Basic
amplifier device for the ear, improves sound waves and makes them clear.
With a
wink of her eye and a twist of her head, I knew I had something to dread. She
spoke not a word as she tore through the wrapping, and I was worried because her
twinkling eyes were flashing.
And laying
a finger aside of her nose, giving a nod up, up, up the finger it rose. I heard
her exclaim as I ran out of sight – “You better hope I win the lottery
tonight!”
PS: I had
to make sure that the amplifier worked properly, so I serenaded Mom with Christmas
carols to get her in the proper Christmas spirit. After about 30 minutes of
singing, Mom said, “Why don’t you take a break?” I said, “I’m fine, I
could sing for hours.” Mom replied, “No, really, TAKE A BREAK!” I
guess she doesn’t appreciate live entertainment.
