Eugene and the Christmas Tree--By Terry O’Leary--France

Eugene and the Christmas Tree

Eugene awoke on Christmas morn

to find the Christmas Tree'd been shorn

and presents strewn around, forlorn,

midst bows and tinselled paper torn.

So blowing on his little Horn,

Eu called Eunice, the Unicorn.

The duo flew away airborne

(straped to Eu's side his Sword, a Thorn).

Escaping back to Yesterday,

in search of thyme and Santa's Sleigh,

Eu sought to brave the grinchy Fay,

reclaim the joy of Christmas Day .

Then Eunice and the Reindeer Corps

chased fey Fay to a sandy Shore

where Santa banned forevermore

the Fay to mop and scrub the floor.

Then Santa iced the windowpane

(thus waking Eu from dreams again),

left gifts arrayed, and candy cane,

beneath a Tree with candled mane.

Terry O’Leary defines himself as "A physicist lacking gravity...".
