The christmas lesson

george RAYMOND51 Comments

I’ll never forget the

Christmas our parents

told us that, because

***

it had been a hard year,

financially, we could only

ask for one present each

***

So, that Christmas, all

that I asked for were

scarlet ribbons.

***

Pretty scarlet ribbons for my hair.

***

And come Christmas morning,

I got them, too. And they

were as beautiful as you may imagine.

***

My sister got a

new computer, though,

and, suddenly,

I realized what

I fool I’d been.

***

Stupid ribbons.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

    • Ah, yes, but what a door-stop! Of course, I doubt there were home computers back in those days. I think my concept of a computer as a kid were those giant room sized computers that spat out answers on punch cards, and, of course, Avery Schreiber. Anyway, happy holidays, SP!

  8. (1) Turning the tables…
    Gable: “I hope you enjoy your ribbons, Scarlett!”
    Leigh: “Frankly, my dear, I don’t give a damn!”
    (2) Revealing moment…
    “I stuck my finger in the flames and discovered it was only a warm fire!”
    (3) Investigation results…
    Police have confirmed that your pipe was stolen by a Hobbit. But they have yet to smoke him out.
