The Christmas Spirit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last night, Jimmy brought home a Christmas tree.
\nIt was big and bushy and best of all… free.
\n(Happy holiday!)<\/p>\n

He found it growing out back in the park.
\nHe took a saw and when it was dark,
\nHe removed it.<\/p>\n

Dispossessing squirrels and birds and such,
\nJimmy thought this the right touch
\nFor his living room.<\/p>\n

So, Jimmy tugged and dragged it home.
\nHe propped it up in a stand of chrome…
\n(What a sight!.)<\/p>\n

Jimmy\u2019s mother was truly surprised.
\nShe could hardly believe her weary eyes,
\nWhen she saw it.<\/p>\n

She hugged her son and asked no question.
\n\u201cWheres\u201d and \u201chows\u201d… you just didn\u2019t mention
\nTo a boy like Jim.<\/p>\n

So, Jimmy and mom spent the evening with lights
\nAnd when they were done, the tree was a bright
\nSymbol of the occasion.<\/p>\n

Sadly, when done with their cheerful chore,
\nThere came a rapping at the front door.
\n(It was the park police!)<\/p>\n

They said Jimmy\u2019s act just wasn\u2019t nice
\nAnd since this had happened more than twice,
\nJim would have to come along.<\/p>\n

They took Jimmy to a place for little boys,
\nWhose minds were filled with \u201cshiny toys\u201d…
\nHeads \u201call full of the music\u201d.<\/p>\n

It seemed odd at the time but…<\/p>\n

When the door closed, someone saw mama smile.
\nA little bit faint but it was there all the while,
\nThat Jimmy was being escorted.<\/p>\n

It was the theory of some who were witness…
\nThat perhaps mom sensed she\u2019d be having a Christmas…
\nThat would finally be merry and bright…
\nand peaceful…
\nand calm…
\nand restful.
\nand quiet.<\/p>\n
