An Unwanted Christmas Present - 5th Day of Christmas

From Jack T. Scully’s “An Unwanted Christmas Present,” published in Mianus Village

 

The hockey puck

hit Petey

between the eyes,

dropping the poor boy

like a shot duck.

 

Later at the midnight

candlelight service,

I got a good look

at Petey’s twin shiners,

 

which his mother

told everyone

was not the kind

of Christmas present

she had expected

from her son.
