Ho, Ho....Whoops!

I've always been quite picky
When it comes to hanging lights.
The wife offers to help me,
But I prefer it done just right.

Each year I have a vision
Of the yuel masterpiece to create,
It is purely my decision,
I don't need help from my dear mate.

So this year I was all confident,
Gathered ladder and the lights,
Got up high and noticed lint,
Upon my work jeans nice and tight.

Went to brush it off directly,
(I'm a neat guy don't you know),
Next I knew my foot slipped swiftly,
From upside down I swung - oh no!

So I cried "sweet wife please help me!"
As I dangled in the breeze.
"You're kidding", she replied with glee,
"Do-it-himself must surely tease"

I won't tell you how it ended,
Just say I hung and humbled for a while.
The brick wall I quite befriended
As my wife stood there and smiled.
