Sadly, I have not written a poem in awhile, one of my favorite things to do.  One is tucked inside every Limoges box gift I give my wife. This means I haven’t been very attentive to her growing collection that has been part of our relationship since the beginning.  In going back through my notes, it’s been since late October that I did my last rhyme for a sports post, after our trip to Pittsburgh. A Halloween Limoges box was lost in the mail, so I stepped up for Christmas with a pricy Disney collectable of Minnie Mouse shopping. 

I felt it appropriate for our upcoming trip to Disney World with my wife’s daughter, who we haven’t seen since April and our move here to Florida. Her husband has never been to an amusement park, let alone the Disney experience. My wife is getting me, at my request, hearing aids – so ears for everyone this Christmas!

Ears for Everyone 

A Disney World,
Family Reunion.
Christmas cheer,
And Florida sun.

Megan & Mitch,
Will “Be our Guests.”
Star Wars rides,
Our ultimate quest.

The Animal Kingdom,
Is our first stop.
Avatar Flight,
Then Everest’s top.

Epcot fireworks,
After Il Mulino.
Too bad we missed,
Tahoe and Reno.

Fires and Covid,
Have thwarted travel.
Let’s hope this trip,
Doesn’t come unraveled.

Disney Limoges,
Seemed appropriate.
Minnie Mouse ears,
The perfect fit.

On Christmas Day,
The Falcon awaits.
Once we conquer,
The lines and gates.

Haunted Mansion,
Tower of Terror.
It’s A Small World,
If you dare!

The Castle will explode,
When our days are done.
Let’s hope any hassles,
Are outweighed by fun.

Then the holiday finale,
On our new lanai.
Unwrapping gifts,
With my Grand Guys.

No dishes at Debsie’s
Just yours and mine.
We may even break out,
The Homer wine.

Only Miranda and Ben,
Are missing this feast.
Eventually, they’ll get here,
But Kauai, at least.

My 23rd Christmas,
Of Loving beautiful you.
And I’m excited,
I’m getting ears, too!
