View Full Version : The annual Xmas message

The Night Before Xmas, Etc.

'Twas the night before Xmas,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
No sign of the kids.

That's because they don't even
Live in this town.
Another lone Xmas
And dad's feeling down.

He remembered the judge saying
That this would be his year
To have the kids over
And give him reason to cheer.

But she's got a new husband
And she's built a new nest.
"Xmas is for families ...."
Well, you know the rest.

Families don't include dads
Who live all alone.
Court orders mean nothing
When moms' hearts turn to stone.

So he stares out the window
And ignores the TV.
Jingles of St. Nick and happy children
Aren't for the odd man out of a family.

You can't order families,
You can't order peace,
When there's no one who listens
In the courts or police.

"Don't miss that child support,
Your kids need their dad"
Doesn't apply to time with your kids.
Do you think we've been had?

There's no Santa for you
When it comes to Xmas with your kids.
And then society wonders
Why so many men hit the skids.

There should be a happy ending
Or a moral or two,
But hey, this is a new millenium....
Odds are, this will happen to you.

=========================================

Merry/Happy from those cool dudes @ what used to be Oregon Men's
Association. You can spread this around as long as you give us the
credit for writing this masterpiece.

Now that is sadd. My biggest fear about a child is being the one alwas
looking in on a life that is no longer mine. And the more I read here and
the more I see. . It seems to be that way. I love my daughter. she is
only 2.5 years old. I am so tired of this hurting inside does it ever get
better
