Merry Christmas to Sarah and Doug

My wonderful big sister and brother-in-law live a busy life. Raising 2 kids and working hard serving their church leaves little time for them to go out on date nights and enjoy time just the 2 of them.

So, for Christmas, my mom, Matthew and I decided the best thing to do would be to make this possible by giving them money to spend and offering to watch the kiddos for the day.

To explain to them all the details of their gift I decided to write a poem for them. In about 5-10 minutes my mom and I knocked this out. I was proud of how well we did so thought I would share it with all (5) of my blog readers as a ponder a future career as a poet.

Enjoy!

Twas the night before Christmas when throughout their home
Kyler kept screaming and Matthew did roam.
Doug and Sarah tried but slept not a wink.
Their bodies were tired and their love life did stink.
When what to their wondering eye should appear
but a sweet little sister and mommy dear.
With gift cards and money and offers to sit
We'll deal with Matthew when he throws a fit.
Enjoy a great date and stay overnight
Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight.
