Standing at the top of our staircase, my wife spotted a glistening green six-legged beetle dragging by his left rear leg a foot-long string of Christmas tree tinsel.  It commenced spreading its wings to fly, unknowingly inspiring a scream which jolted even our neighbors. 

                                                                                                                 
                                                                                  Mother of the Year

 She put the tinsel over the angel's wings and started up the staircase.  A green monster met her.  She screamed.  It said, "Don't be afraid.  You've won the Monster Mother of the Year award.  Here's your prize."  

He handed her a bottle of Pepto-Bismol.  "Don't take it all at once."

Lofty staircase climbing...

   Star placement...reaching...leaning...

Flapping wings pantomiming...

   Silent screams quick convening.

Riding...sliding...

           Green boughts bending,

A prickly path providing...

   Friction toward the floor descending...

Landing like a Santa gift

            Already wrapped for Christmas Eve

In blinking lights and tinsel drift...

                     A silent night reprieve.
