Twas the night before Christmas
And beside the Christmas tree
Were my wife and I
And Take-chan,
Making three.
Now
When^ it comes
To telling stories,
I’m only good
When Tm out carousing
With the bunch,
Knowing that wifey’s at home,
Impatient with her hunch.
A small boy in a patched pair
of pants, kicking a tin can along
a dirt road that led to the school
,
waiting in line on Saturday
morning, to get into a .show, a
dime dutched in his clammy
hands . . . hunting in the woods
with a bb guii, his Scotty by his
side i . . noticing how pretty
Elaine looked sitting in the next
aisle.
And so,
When Take-chan,
Only three,
Asked me to tell him
About Santa Claus,
I had to gaze
At the illuminated tree
And for a moment,
Think and pause.
The bewildering first day of
high school . . . doing algebra
homework . . . the high mixers
and the maternal Marie who
taught him to dance . . . being
president of the model airplane
club . . . getting an F in English
lit. . . . being shy and half-afraid
to ask Helen for a date . . his
adolescent world crashing to
pieces when Helen said “I don’t
date Japs”.
"Well”,
I began, very softly and slow,
And hoped that my doubt
Would be lost in the tinsel glow.
c,On the eve of one A.D.
God gave us a gift,
His only begotten son.
To spread His words
In a world
That was dark and dim.

Twas the night before Christmas
And beside the Christmas tree
Were my wife and I
And Take-chan,
Making three.
Now
When^ it comes
To telling stories,
I’m only good
When Tm out carousing
With the bunch,
Knowing that wifey’s at home,
Impatient with her hunch.
A small boy in a patched pair
of pants, kicking a tin can along
a dirt road that led to the school
,
waiting in line on Saturday
morning, to get into a .show, a
dime dutched in his clammy
hands . . . hunting in the woods
with a bb guii, his Scotty by his
side i . . noticing how pretty
Elaine looked sitting in the next
aisle.
And so,
When Take-chan,
Only three,
Asked me to tell him
About Santa Claus,
I had to gaze
At the illuminated tree
And for a moment,
Think and pause.
The bewildering first day of
high school . . . doing algebra
homework . . . the high mixers
and the maternal Marie who
taught him to dance . . . being
president of the model airplane
club . . . getting an F in English
lit. . . . being shy and half-afraid
to ask Helen for a date . . his
adolescent world crashing to
pieces when Helen said “I don’t
date Japs”.
"Well”,
I began, very softly and slow,
And hoped that my doubt
Would be lost in the tinsel glow.
c,On the eve of one A.D.
God gave us a gift,
His only begotten son.
To spread His words
