The Best New Year's Day Gift...

'Twas the night before New Years, when all through the house,
the cats were stirring wondering why on New Years mom was home in the house;
the empty beer bottles were stacked by the sink with care,
in hopes that lawn junking girlfriends soon would be there;
the Hinsmans were nestled all snug in their bed,
while visions of chickalobes danced in their heads;
when out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter,
away to the window I flew like a flash,
tore open the blinds and threw up the sash;
the moon on the breast of the new-fallen snowGave the lustre of mid-day to wonderful lawn junk objects below,
when, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but tons of beautifully placed lawn junk for neighbors to fear;
with a good and buzzed driver, so lively and quick,

I knew in a moment it must be the lawn junkers with wit;
someone whistled, shouted, and called them by name;”
Now, Tommy, now Tommy, and Tommy too,
Let’s make this yard look like a lawn junked zoo!”
So back to the suburbs they drove,

as they glanced back at their success of the lawn junked abode;
with the lawn junkers out of sight,
the Hinsmans screamed and leaped with joy “Happy New Year's Day 2006 and to all our neighbors, enjoy the great sight."
