“Eliminate / The deflate / So grim”

A certain gripe the Author has with the Holiday Season is the depressing sight of formerly inflated Christmas decorations.  The Author’s grandmother shared that gripe but expressed it in a much more charming and clever way, as exhibited in this wonderfully witty poem published in the Lancaster New Era in 2008.  

Diligent Readers might recall seeing this poem six years ago, but the Author couldn’t resist sharing it again.
