Too Early

There beside the entrance

To my neighborhood Whole Foods,

Were Christmas trees lined up,

Perhaps to brighten people’s moods.

 

I’d gotten used to seeing trees

Right after Turkey Day,

Which always seemed too early

For a holiday display.

 

Yet now it is a week before

Thanksgiving Day instead,

So those who buy their trees now

Will, by Christmas, find them dead.
