a speck of light glazing through
this sleepy-eyed girls' eyes
throwing the covers off my shoulders
breathing deep, the morning air
rising to sitting position, I
stretch
first big yawn after waking
trying to get my thoughts together
something starts to come to me
piece by crazy piece
scene by silly scene
suddenly there I was...in another place
waiting in the shadow
of an old abandoned building
clothed in a santa suit
with purple boots on my feet
a tiara on my bald head
tattoos covered me
head to toe
singing...some strange lullaby like this:
take me to the funny farm
rock me to sleep up in your arms
wake me next day and bake me a cake
but please just don't take me home!
What? have I gone completely crazy?
then out of the blue
I felt a strong vibration..
shaking everything in the room
my whole body was moving from
side to side
I began to get a little dizzy
and then...
oh man!!!
right then I knew what as going on
My eyes opened!
it was Mama trying to wake me up
she had been shaking me so hard
trying to get me to get showered and dressed for...
Oh man..I was dreaming again!
Mama was used to this, you see
this happens every year
I stay up way too late..and then
I can't wake up on Christmas Day
you'd think being seventy-nine years old, that my
ninety-eight year old Mama would give up on me..
but not Mama!
and I am a "Mama's girl"
