Wrapping Up
Twas the night before mayhem
And over my floor
Lay ribbons and trappings
Right up to the door
So tired that I
Can no longer think
Help! Please someone
Bring me a drink.

This is my submission for this week’s Trifecta challenge. The good folks at Trifecta have changed things up a bit, so the 33-word challenges are now held during the week, every other week. This week, they gave us this challenge:
Charles Dickens, in A Christmas Carol, wrote “There is nothing in the world so irresistibly contagious as laughter and good humour.” We are giving you exactly 33 words to make us laugh out loud and spread some festive cheer.

Apoplectic Apostrophes 
Is the voting open? Good one… I laughed!
Is it a voting week? I have no idea.
Thanks Ted! Glad it made you laugh. 🙂
I’ll mix up one for each of us Suzanne;) It’s almost that time…Fun 33, my friend!
Excellent! Thanks Valerie! 🙂
Ha! Love “Twas the night before mayhem”! So true 😉 Great poem!
And it seems to become more true every year. Maybe I’m getting old? 😉 Thanks Jeremy!
This is such a perfect Christmas poem! 😀 Thanks for giving me a giggle.
You’re very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
Good one, Suzanne! There’d be no one to bring me a drink…hubby disappears when wrapping paper comes out 🙂
LOL! Smart man! Maybe you need to prepare a thermos ahead of time? 😉
Or an IV…depends on how much and what I have 🙂
😀
That is a great idea!
Hahaha Make that three! Funny.
Or six… How many does it take before the presents wrap themselves? 😉
it’s STILL my favorite part, the wrapping (While I watch (gorge myself) on Christmas movies. People say “I hope I survive the holidays” but I always say “I survive because of the Holidays” because without Christmas where would all the magic and wonder be?
I still liked it…because you made me giggle (don’t forget to use special paper for the ones from Santa..kids are smarter than they look. 😉
MERRY CHRISTMAS Suzanne, much love this holiday season.
I do like the wonder – and I always appreciate the gifts once they’re wrapped, but sometimes it seems like an insurmountable task to get it all done in time.
And yes – special paper for the ones from Santa! We’ve been doing that since my step-daughter was 3 (she’s 13 now). I keep that paper well hidden. 🙂
Merry Christmas to you too Kir!
So much wrapping paper!!!!!
I know! It’s like an ocean or something. 😀
I know this feeling well! This was me yesterday. I was on the floor for so long it felt strange to get up!
I still have all my wrapping to dread, I mean look forward to. 😉
AMEN to that! 🙂
Good one, Suzanne! And, on a totally unrelated note, your piece is aptly named considering it’s the last entry for this prompt. 🙂
Thanks Ivy! And I should probably say I did it on purpose, but then I’d be lying and I hear Santa frowns on that… 😉
Make it a double!
Good thinking! 😀
