THE NOVELTY WORE OFF TOO FAST!!

We got these gifts--our longed-for gifts;
the fun of them just couldn't last!
We're fickle, like the weather shifts--
the novelty wore off too fast!!!
We use a generator, though
video games were still a must!
And, 'cause we are in Idaho,
our sleek new clothes caught cold wind's gust;
and we got frost-bite to our core!
Our patience with our Christmas gone,
our fingers frozen solid, sore!
This way, our holiday moved on:
the Christmas tree, it fell down too.
We tried to be adventurous;
but did not know quite what to do!
This novel Christmas MADE US FUSS!!
