As he peers from behind the banister,
Bereft of all Christmas joy,
He reflects on that very instant
He chose not to purchase a toy,
If only he'd gone with his wife
On that shopping spree Black Friday night,
He could have joined in the fun,
A merry Christmas well done,
Topped with Sprinkles McLovin all night.

I wrote this playful poem after viewing a tiktok video of a husband sitting sadly on the stairs as he watched his wife's family exchange Christmas gifts. Hope you enjoy! #adulthumor #adultnurseryrhyme #comedy #funny
