As I click my typer,
And as I lay on my back,
I notice that I am not hyper,
And I worry on this fact.
Did I not get excited?
Was I not filled with joy?
Back when I used words like "Fighted"
Back when I was a very young boy.
I ponder for a second,
I realize something grim,
"You know," I begin to reckon,
"I'm beginning to act like him!"
I think back to my brother,
And how he too forgot,
The joy father and mother,
convinced us that Christmas brought.
"I don't want to lose it,
I don't want to forget!
I didn't even choose it",
Or so I would bet.
Truly I did still get excited,
Just at a different time,
This time it happened,
