This one is okay!



Angels and snowflakes

After the "right" tree was home,

we still had to work our hands to the bone;
saw off the bottom a little bit more,
build a stand, so it's upright on the floor.

Tree stands back then didn't come from the store,
well, they did really in the form of a two by four;
make a cross and nail it together,  oh maybe a square eight,
two blocks on one piece to make it level and straight.

Nail the tree on make it secure,
but there ain't no place for the water to pour,
no water for the tree back in the day long ago,
it didn't last long, but, oh my what a show.

Some homemade things and more
