Second Friday of Advent

Read Isaiah 7:10-25; Luke 22:14-30

        come the day

on that day,
    you will show up
        at my house,
    a waitress on your
            right,
        a trash collector
                on your left,
    saying, 'hope you don't
        mind me bringing my
            two best buds;'

on that day,
    you will bring a
            picnic basket,
        filled with warm,
                just-baked bread,
            jars of preserves,
    and a bottle of the best
        from your wine
                cellar;

on that day,
    we will curl up
    on the couch,
        a big bowl of
                popcorn
            drenched in butter
    between us, as we watch
white christmas
         elf
     it's a wonderful life                    and
             love actually        until the winter moon
    slouches off to
                sleep.
