plans for the holidays,
my neighbor asks in a neighborly
way.
oh, yeah, i tell him.
nodding enthusiastically.
i've got a lot of friends to see,
relatives,
kids, cousins, you name it.
so much shopping left to do.
which i love, by the way.
i'll be travelling, on the road.
hope the weather holds out.
i'm suddenly john candy
in trains planes and automobiles.
great, great, he says.
he looks at me for a second, i
can tell he knows i'm lying
like a Persian rug, and on
Christmas eve his wife will
leave a plate of food for me
at the door and nice card saying
how much they like me.
come on over, if you'd like.
