A SURPRISE UNDER THE TREE

Twas the week before Christmas
Another time in my life
I finished my shopping
So did my wife.

The presents were stacked
Under the tree
I wondered how many
Were meant for me.

My wife wrapped my presents
So shiny and bright
She did them in secret
Way out of my siight.

Her gifts I had wrapped
With paper and bow
I don't know why since
Every gift she did know.

Christmas is not Christmas
Without having a surprise
A gift you can open
And see with your eyes.

So I went out shopping
And after many tries
I found a nice gift
To be a surprise.

I wrapped it real nice
Hid it under the tree
She'll open it at Christmas
And holler at me.

Merry Christmas
