Holiday
A young lad dreams of /
riding his paper airplane /
like Santa’s red sleigh.

Wrinkled paper
Opening again, /
wrinkled wrapping paper. /
I hear it, too — rain.

First joke writer: I can’t quite come up with a finish for this joke: “You know you’re an older writer when….” and that’s as far as I get.
Second joke writer: “You know you’re an older writer when your wife surprises you with a box of 20-pound bond paper and it excites you in ways you hadn’t thought possible.”
First joke writer: Sounds like that happened to you.
Second joke writer: It did. Then the reality of having to fill all those blank pages sank in and dulled it all.

Smiles, hugs, and paper; /
Presents, bows, and tape askew. /
Great escape again.
