Twas the Night Before Winter
Autumn has left us with the yard finally mowed,
Not a stray grass around, the new trimmer was stowed.
Snowboards were hung from the ceiling with care
In hopes that efficient lighting soon would be there.
The beer fridge door now accessible at last
Awaiting sink installation from kitchens past.
Hooks and racks to hang coats dirty and wet
From wintery sports to a fishing net.
Three shelves line the wall in organizational bliss
And a unit with bins completes our shelving list.
Back to the basement we see a new use
For the large tiled area that seemed so confused
A man cave it shall now be known as
With a bar and TV this new room now has!
And the guest bedroom suite is underway
The last of furniture purchases, we pray.
But let us not forget what started this all
Moving back up the stairway and down the hall
To the fireplace with a face lift so bright
New lamps reflect the mantel's bright white
Chairs and posters finish off the kitchen colors
And quarter-round trim makes this room match the others.
With our rhyme ending sadly this very late nite,
I wish "Happy Winter to All and to All a Good Night!"
