Our Perfect Christmas Tree
by Jenn Leonard '18

Here's to the glass ornaments
That have crashed to the floor.
Here's to the Angel,
Who is perfectly centered no more.
Here's to the shining lights,
Rather the half that still go on.
Here's to the fake tree branches,
Which always look so wrong.
Here's to the hand-made stockings,
That hang up on the tree.
Here's to the paper snowflakes,
That are a sore sight to see.


And here's to you and here's to me
For making this plastic pine,
The perfect Christmas tree.
