Christmas Countdown Poem 2024: 4. Trip to the Loft


Pull out the step ladder,
Grab the latch to the loft,
It's time for the expedition,
To get what was lost.
***
A year ago,
A month away,
These items were hidden,
Out of the way,
***
Now Christmas is here,
And we need them again,
We climb up to the loft,
To blow the dust off them.
