'Twas the day after Christmas, and all through the house, <br />Every creature was hurtin', even the mouse. <br />The toys were all broken, their batteries dead; <br />Santa passed out, with some ice on his head. <br /><br />Wrapping and ribbons just covered the floor, <br />While upstairs the family continued to snore. <br />And I in my T-shirt, new Reeboks and jeans, <br />I went into the kitchen and started to clean. <br /><br />When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter, <br />I sprang from the sink to see what was the matter. <br />Away to the window I flew like a flash, <br />Tore open the curtains, and threw up the sash. <br /><br />When what to my wondering eyes should appear, <br />But a little white truck, with an oversized mirror. <br />The driver was smiling, so lively and grand; <br />The patch on his jacket said "U.S. POSTMAN."(Snailman) <br /><br />With a handful of bills, he grinned like a fox <br />Then quickly he stuffed them into our mailbox. <br />Bill after bill, after bill, they still came. <br />Whistling and shouting he called them by name: <br /><br />"Now iboats, now BassPro, now Cabellos and Sears <br />Here's Robinson's, Levitz's and Target and Milvilles. <br />To the tip of your limit, every store, every mall, <br />Now charge away--charge away--charge away all!" <br /><br />He whooped and he whistled as he finished his work. <br />He filled up the box, and then turned with a jerk. <br />He sprang to his truck and he drove down the road, <br />Driving much faster with just half a load. <br /><br />Then I heard him exclaim with great holiday cheer, <br />"Enjoy what you got. . . . . .you'll be paying all year!"
